Steelers Week 3 Protected Practice Squad Player List Includes Charlton, Tuszka, Joseph, Samuels

The Pittsburgh Steelers have now announced the four players on their practice squad they’re protecting for Week 3 and one of those players was just signed on Tuesday.

According to the daily NFL transaction sheet, the Steelers are protecting practice squad players defensive end Taco Charlton, safety Karl Joseph, running back Jaylen Samuels and outside linebacker Derrek Tuszka for Week 3

The Steelers signed Charlton, a former first-round draft pick out of Michigan, to their practice squad on Monday. Its interesting that they listed him as a defensive end as well as he really would seem to fit better as an outside linebacker in the Steelers system due to his skill set.
