Report: Steelers signing LB Kyron Johnson to practice squad

Why Now?

Pittsburgh is headed into their bye, and won't be practicing until next week at the earliest. Perhaps they are just looking to add some depth at an important position, but it makes you wonder if there is a potential injury to one of Pittsburgh's linebackers that we don't know about yet. 

Coach T gave an update on T.J. Watt following the game, but he was said to be dealing with a finger, and it wasn't viewed as serious. 

We know Highmsith approached the game with a groin issue, but the 11 pressures he recorded speak to his ability to play through it. 

So hopefully Pittsburgh is just adding extra bodies. But if they aren't, we will know soon enough, with Coach T providing an injury update during tomorrow's version of Tomlin Tuesdays.
