With star safety Minkah Fitzpatrick out for Week Nine against the Tennessee Titans on Thursday Night Football, the Pittsburgh Steelers are shoring up the depth chart, at least on the practice squad.
The Steelers announced Tuesday morning the signing of veteran safety Jalen Elliott to the practice squad and released outside linebacker David Perales.
Elliott previously spent time with the Steelers in training camp, signing with the franchise on August 8, which came just five days after he worked out for the Steelers at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. Elliott spent the entire preseason with the Steelers before he was waived on August 28 ahead of final cutdowns to get to the 53-man roster.
