Steelers Bring Rookie Safety Donovan Stiner Back to Practice Squad

The Steelers have re-signed rookie safety Donovan Stiner to their practice squad, the team announced on Wednesday.

Stiner originally joined the team as an undrafted free agent out of Florida just after the 2021 NFL Draft. He was waived as part of the team’s final cut-down to 53 players on Tuesday.

In four preseason games this summer, Stiner had eight tackles and one interception in the Hall of Fame Game against the Dallas Cowboys.

The Steelers also signed defensive end Daniel Archibong, wide receiver Rico Bussey, running back Trey Edmunds, cornerback Mark Gilbert, tackle Chaz Green, safety Karl Joseph, offensive lineman John Leglue, outside linebacker Christian Miller, guard Malcolm Pridgeon, tight end Kevin Rader, running back Jaylen Samuels, wide receiver Steven SIms,outside linebacker Derrek Teszka and wide receiver Cody White to their practice squad. The team has one open spot remaining on the 16-player squad.
