Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed that the team will be signing veteran safety Jabrill Peppers at his Tuesday press conference and he confirmed that an injury to DeShon Elliott was the impetus for the move.

The Pittsburgh Steelers lost safety DeShon Elliott to a sprained MCL in the season-opening contest against the New York Jets. In light of this, the Steelers acted quickly and signed former New England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers.

Pittsburgh Steelers safety DeShon Elliott is expected to miss ‘multiple weeks’ with an MCL Sprain, according to Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports. The team signed Jabrill Peppers to help fill the void in the meantime.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are bringing in a veteran safety after one of their starters at the position went down with an injury.

N/A: the Seahawks injury report has yet to be disclosed. On Tuesday, HC Mike Tomlin ruled out S DeShon Elliott, DL Derrick Harmon, and LB Malik Harrison, while also expressing optimism that Joey Porter Jr. and Nick Herbig will be available in Week 2.

The Bengals’ defense helped them avoid starring 0-1, but Joe Burrow was punished. Myles Garrett expects to lead the NFL in sacks and is off to a good start.
