Pittsburgh Steelers sign former Bears cornerback to bolster room
PennLive.com • • sports
Key Points:
- The Pittsburgh Steelers signed cornerback Terell Smith from the Washington Commanders practice squad and must keep him on their 53-man roster for at least three weeks.
- This acquisition follows the Steelers also signing cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers practice squad, as they work to strengthen their cornerback group.
- Smith, a 2023 fifth-round pick out of Minnesota, previously played three seasons with the Chicago Bears before joining the Commanders' practice squad this year.
- Smith missed the 2025 season due to a torn patellar tendon suffered in the preseason and has not played a regular-season game since 2024, when he appeared in 14 games with two starts.
- The Steelers made these moves after trading away Joey Porter Jr. and facing injury concerns with Jamel Dean, aiming to bolster their cornerback depth following a loss to the Cleveland Browns.
