Steelers shuffle their practice squad heading into Week 16

The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming off their big win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 15, and as they prepare for the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday the team has made some moves on their 16-man practice squad.

Like so many teams this season, the Steelers have players coming and going off the Reserve/COVID-19 List. Take a look at the changes to the practice squad from the Steelers verified Twitter feed:

We have:
• Released DB Isaiah Johnson from the practice squad
• Restored DB Linden Stephens to the practice squad from the Practice Squad/COVID-19 List
• Placed G Malcolm Pridgeon on the Practice Squad/COVID-19 List— Pittsburgh Steelers (@steelers) December 20, 2021

The Steelers released defensive back Isaiah Johnson, and the reason why Johnson was likely released was because the team restored defensive back Linden Stephens off the Practice Squad/COVID-19 List.
