Pittsburgh Steelers defense gets boost with return of ex-Ravens linebacker
The Pittsburgh Steelers have activated outside linebacker Jeremiah Moon off of injured reserve, the team announced on Saturday. Moon will occupy the 53rd and final roster spot for the Steelers this week against the Dallas Cowboys.
Moon will add a fourth outside linebacker to their rotation as long as he is active. He missed four weeks with an ankle injury that he suffered back in the middle of August. Now, Moon will add special teams depth and give the Steelers another body with Alex Highsmith sidelined with a groin injury. Highsmith is expected to return in two weeks.
Moon was claimed by the Steelers in January after the Baltimore Ravens released him during the playoffs. He was running with the second team before his injury forced him to miss time.
Nick Herbig will start alongside T.J. Watt, with Moon and DeMarvin Leal giving the team depth. The 26-year-old is a Florida product and was undrafted in the 2022 NFL Draft, but his athleticism and special teams acumen allowed him to earn a roster spot with the Ravens. He has 12 tackles and two forced fumbles in his career.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed cornerback Daequan Hardy to their practice squad, the team announced on Tuesday. Hardy tried out for the Steelers on Tuesday and inked a contract shortly after that, replacing the recently released Beanie Bishop.
A Penn State product, Hardy was a sixth-round pick by the Buffalo Bills out of the Nittany Lions’ program in 2024. He spent the entire 2024 season in Buffalo, but was released in August. Now, he joins his hometown team.
Hardy, a five-year contributor at Penn State, played mostly at slot cornerback and was a second-team All-Big-10 selection in his final collegiate season where he broke out and put himself squarely on the map as an NFL prospect.
He finished that season with two interceptions, seven pass deflections, and 22 tackles. Hardy also did some of his best work on special teams and can punt and kick return if the Steelers would need him in those areas.
Hardy was a three-star prospect coming out of Penn Hills High School in the suburbs of Pittsburgh. This is a homecoming for the WPIAL product, who Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has known since he played in high school. Hardy played with Tomlin’s son, Dino, in some of their 7-on-7 local teams.
