Steelers Sign WR Cain, RB Whyte To Roster On Saturday

The Pittsburgh Steelers made a set of roster moves on Saturday that included a wide receiver and running back being signed to the 53-man roster.

Signed to the roster on Saturday were wide receiver Deon Cain and running back Kerrith Whyte Jr. To make room on the 53-man roster for Cain and Whyte, the Steelers waived outside linebacker Jayrone Elliott and running back Tony Brooks-James.

Cain, who was originally selected by the Indianapolis Colts in the sixth round (185th overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft, was recently waived by them. He played in seven games (three starts) for the Colts this season and caught four passes for 52 yards.
