The Pittsburgh Steelers were set to meet with free agent cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. on Wednesday of this week, with the former Los Angeles Charger finally healthy enough to meet with potential suitors. Luckily for Pittsburgh, a meeting wasn't even needed for him to join the squad.
According to multiple reports, Samuel Jr. is joining the Steelers' practice squad. Fans may be surprised to see a player of his caliber start on the practice squad, but it will take time for the young corner to get back into game shape after having last played over a year ago.
