The Steelers placed Anderson (groin) on injured reserve Saturday. The left tackle is dealing with a groin issue and will now be required to sit out the remainder of the regular season. Anderson could return for the first round of the playoffs if he's able to heal by that time.
Anderson signed a contract with the Steelers on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports. Anderson worked out for the team Monday and showed enough to earn a spot on their 53-man roster. He'll provide depth at offensive tackle after Pittsburgh lost Troy Fautanu (knee) for the season.
Anderson (undisclosed) is slated to sign with the Steelers on Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Anderson was cut from IR with an injury settlement by the Patriots at the end of August. His ability to work out for the Steelers would likely suggest the veteran offensive tackle is healthy, although until he passes a physical and officially signs, it can't be certain. Pittsburgh's interest in the veteran likely stems from the recent loss of Troy Fautanu (knee) for the season.
The Patriots cut Anderson (undisclosed) from IR with an injury settlement Friday. Anderson restructured his contract with New England in April, but he's now parted ways with the team. The offensive lineman originally signed with the Patriots as an undrafted free agent in 2019 and rejoined the organization in 2023 after spending three campaigns with Denver. Anderson has started in 14 of the 46 regular-season contests he's played in during his NFL career.
Anderson (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday. Anderson's injury is unclear, but he will now miss the 2024 campaign because of it. The 28-year-old did finish last season on IR due to an illness, although it's not certain the two are related.
The Patriots and Anderson have agreed to a restructured contract, Field Yates of ESPN reports. The agreement slightly reduces the base value of Anderson's deal down from $3.35 million, with the move in line to create $990,000 in salary cap space for New England. In his second season with the Patriots, the 28-year-old -- who finished the 2023 campaign on IR -- figures to compete for a swing tackle role along the team's offensive line, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.
