The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed a three-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman ahead of their preseason opener.

Steelers strengthen lineup with Pro Bowl addition

The Pittsburgh Steelers have announced significant roster changes before their preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. They signed quarterback Logan Woodside to replace rookie Will Howard, who broke a bone in his hand and will be sidelined for the preseason. In a more notable move, the team signed former Pro Bowl offensive lineman Andrus Peat. Peat, who was a first-round draft pick in 2015, spent the majority of his career with the New Orleans Saints and has a strong track record, making three straight Pro Bowls from 2018 to 2020. Most recently, he played for the Las Vegas Raiders in the previous season, participating in 15 games and starting one. Throughout his career, Peat has experience as both a left tackle and guard, giving the Steelers versatile options on their offensive line.

The signing of Andrus Peat comes at a crucial time for the Steelers, who aim to bolster their offensive line ahead of the season. With the injury to Will Howard and the pressure on the quarterback position, Peat's experience and accolades could provide stability and improve the overall performance of the offensive front. His proven ability in high-pressure situations, demonstrated by his Pro Bowl appearances, can also instill confidence amongst teammates and help the Steelers maintain their competitive edge in the league.

Highlights

The Steelers are optimistic that these roster moves will set a strong tone for the upcoming season.
