Behind the Steel Curtain
The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed veteran safety Jabrill Peppers to their active roster, per Ian Rapoport.
“Former Patriots S Jabrill Peppers, a surprise release after cut-down day, is expected to sign with the Steelers per me and Mike Garafolo,” Rapoport reports. “They’ve agreed to terms.”
While Peppers will be a good addition to the Steelers’ defense, it also doesn’t send the best message regarding the injury of DeShon Elliott. The Steelers’ No. 1 safety left the team’s Week 1 game against the New York Jets with a knee injury and didn’t return.
Peppers is a former first-round pick of the Cleveland Browns back in 2017. He spent the last three seasons with the New England Patriots, with a stop with the New York Giants in between. He has 511 career tackles, 30 tackles for loss, and seven interceptions.
