Former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback un-retires to sign with Kansas City Chiefs
Former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Steven Nelson un-retired to sign with the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday. Nelson retired in the offseason after receiving little interest in opening free agency after playing with the Houston Texans last season.
However, the Chiefs have dealt with multiple cornerback injuries over the last few weeks, and called Nelson, who used to play for him, as a potential help. After a workout on Monday, which came to fruition, it seems that Nelson will likely work quickly to slot into their lineup.
After leaving Kansas City, Nelson signed with the Steelers. He spent 2019 and 2020 with the team before heading to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2021. Nelson will start on the Chiefs’ practice squad this time around and work his way up to the active roster.
The 31-year-old cornerback has 456 tackles and 13 interceptions over his ten-year NFL career. A third-round pick out of Oregon State by the Chiefs in the 2015 NFL Draft, Nelson has carved out a long and prosperous career for himself that he hopes can end with a ring this time around.

About 5 pounds of bees removed from Acrisure Stadium scaffolding ahead of Morgan Wallen concerts
Acrisure Stadium is buzzing with excitement ahead of the back-to-back Morgan Wallen concerts. Except it’s not the fans generating all the excitement — it’s about 5 pounds of honeybees.
The Fine Family Apiary in Monongahela said it was contacted on Wednesday about a swarm of bees clustered on the stage scaffolding. The apiary put the swarm in a “nuc box” and took them home before moving the bees into full-size equipment.
Owner Al Fine estimates the swarm weighed about 4 to 5 pounds and consisted of 12,000 to 15,000 bees. All said, it took less than two hours to get the job done.
Why do bees swarm?
Swarming is how honeybees propagate, Fine explained. According to Penn State Extension, during swarming, the queen and about half the workers leave their home to establish a new nest. The bees will form a temporary cluster, hanging out while scouts search the surrounding area for a more permanent home in hollow spaces like tree cavities or, occasionally, the walls of a home.
Swarms can stick around for several hours or days until they’re ready to move, Penn State Extension says. Meanwhile, the colony left behind is temporarily without a leader until a new queen is established.
With the swarm at Acrisure Stadium removed, Morgan Wallen’s show is ready to go on. The country music megastar will bring his I’m The Problem Tour to Pittsburgh on June 5 and June 6, along with multiple acts like Brooks & Dunn and Ella Langley.
