T moved Kyron Johnson up from the practice squad in order to provide them with depth at linebacker for the Cardinals game on Sunday.

Johnson was signed by Pittsburgh in October. The former Kansas Jayhawk is now in his second NFL season. He was chosen in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft by the Eagles. Additionally, he had 16 appearances for the Eagles, mostly on special teams. He has not yet made a play for the Steelers this season.

Meanwhile, the Steelers are getting back the services of safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and possibly defensive lineman Montravius Adams. Coach Mike Tomlin indicated that both would be back at practice this past week.

Tomlin said he was “cautiously optimistic about both.” When the Steelers released their final injury report of the week, Fitzpatrick (hamstring) didn’t have a game status designation. Adams (ankle) was questionable. He’s the only questionable on the list.

Fitzpatrick, the former Dolphins first rounder from Alabama, is a three-time All-Pro. He’s missed the past four games with a hamstring injury. In fact, since his injury, he hadn’t practiced until this week. Adams couldn’t play in the last three games.

Quarterback Kenny Pickett also has no injury designation for Sunday. Tomlin said he was on the injury report because of ankle soreness. But he went through three full practices.
