The Pittsburgh Steelers continued their roster adjustments on Wednesday, announcing several transactions. Running back Aaron Shampklin has been signed to the 53-man roster from the practice squad, providing depth to the team’s injury-plagued backfield.
Shampklin’s promotion comes after his temporary activation last week against the Indianapolis Colts, where he recorded one rush for five yards. His permanent addition to the roster hints at concerns regarding Jaylen Warren and Cordarrelle Patterson’s injuries. With both players dealing with health issues, Shampklin’s role may expand in the coming weeks.
To fill Shampklin’s spot on the practice squad, the Steelers signed linebacker Jacoby Windmon. An undrafted free agent, Windmon impressed during the summer and is considered an addition to watch. His physical playstyle could make him a valuable asset for Pittsburgh’s defense.
The Steelers also activated outside linebacker Jeremiah Moon’s 21-day window to return from injured reserve. Moon showed promise during the preseason and could provide depth to the team’s outside linebacker corps. With one open roster spot remaining, the Steelers may continue to make adjustments as they navigate the challenges of the NFL season.
