Pittsburgh Steelers sign former Ohio State linebacker
The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed former Ohio State linebacker Craig Young to the practice squad. Young spent three seasons with the Buckeyes from 2019 to 2021 before transferring to Kansas to finish his career.
Along with signing Young, the team brought back Ade Ogundeji after cutting him from the active roster on Monday. Young was brought in after Jacoby Windmon, an inside linebacker who can also play outside linebacker, was poached from their practice squad by the Carolina Panthers. He must spend the next three weeks of the season on the Panthers’ active roster.
Young signed with the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent out of the 2024 NFL Draft. However, Young was cut on August 27 during cutdown day and now will get his second NFL chance with the Steelers.
The 6-foot, 226-pound linebacker ran a 4.57 40-yard dash at the Big 12 Combine in Frisco, Texas. He has not yet played in an NFL game, but he will look to get that opportunity with the Steelers as he works his way up the depth chart. The Steelers have another inside linebacker on the practice squad, Devin Harper.

The Allegheny County Police Department announced charges against four people after a drug bust earlier this week in Braddock.
On Thursday, the county police’s violent crime and firearms unit, along with the SWAT team, served a search warrant at a home on Corey Avenue.
When they entered, they found two adult men, an adult woman, and one boy inside. They were all taken into custody.
Following a search of the home, detectives found a loaded handgun, five bricks of suspected fentanyl, multiple handgun magazines, and firearm accessories.
All four of the people in the home are now facing charges in connection with the investigation.
Among them is 24-year-old Jawan Coachman, who is being charged with carrying a firearm without a license, possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, and tampering with evidence. Both 18-year-old Nathaniel Scott and 19-year-old Nakhiya Enoch are facing multiple drug charges and an additional charge related to firearms violations.
Meanwhile, the juvenile had charges filed in juvenile court, and his identity has not been released.

New Head Coach Mike McCarthy inherited a roster with more than a fair share of holes to fill. Perhaps none more so than wide receiver.
Trading for highly productive former Indianapolis Colts draft pick Michael Pittman Jr. to play alongside D.K. Metcalf certainly helped, but third-year receiver Roman Wilson is currently slotted as the team’s wide receiver No. 3 with only 164 career yards. The Steelers can go anywhere with their first-round selection, and if one of the big three receivers falls (Carnell Tate, Jordyn Tyson, or Makai Lemon), don’t count the Steelers out.
The second most pressing need is safety, and the Steelers are in luck. There are at least three safeties with a consensus first-round grade in this year’s class. At 21, Pittsburgh is in a prime position to pick up a day-one starter if they go this route.
With 12 picks, McCarthy will hope to secure at least six starters/role players, and with three picks in the third round, they’ve got the draft capital to do just that.
