The Steelers signed Fehoko (arm) to the practice squad Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports. Fehoko was with the Steelers during training camp, but he was let go with an injury settlement after being placed on IR due to arm and shoulder injuries. His last NFL regular-season action came in 2022 with the Chargers, during which he accrued 23 tackles (10 solo) across nine games.
Fehoko (arm) was released with an injury settlement by the Steelers on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The defensive tackle will now have a chance to play in 2024 if he catches on with another team. Fehoko last saw NFL action in 2022 with the Chargers and has 36 career tackles in three seasons.
The Steelers placed Fehoko (arm/shoulder) on injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Fehoko was dealing with arm and shoulder injuries that forced him to leave Wednesday's practice. Now that he's been placed on IR, the 27-year-old will be forced to miss the entire 2024 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Pittsburgh. His last NFL action was in 2022 with the Chargers, when he recorded 23 tackles (10 solo) in nine regular-season games.
Fehoko left Wednesday's practice with arm and shoulder injuries, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports. The extent of Fehoko's injuries are unknown, but this likely doesn't help his chances of making Pittsburgh's 53-man roster. The 27-year-old nose tackle is expected to continue competing for a depth spot on the Steelers' defensive line once he returns to full health.
Unless he's claimed by another team during the current waiver period, Fehoko is now set to become a free agent. He has not appeared in a regular-season game in 2023.
