Steelers announce multiple moves including Isaiahh Loudermilk to IR

[ASFN Admin]

This week, the Pittsburgh Steelers announced a significant number of roster moves ahead of this week's game against the New England Patriots. The headliner of this group is defensive tackle Isaiahh Loudermilk, who the team announced is headed to IR.

Here is the full rundown of the moves:

Defensive end DeMarvin Leal was signed to the 53-man roster from the practice squad

Defensive tackle Isaiahh Loudermilk to IR

Linebacker JaWhaun Bentley signed to the practice squad

Wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins signed to the practice squad

Tight end Matt Sokol signed to the practice squad

Wide receiver Rakim Jarrett released from the practice squad

Tight end JJ Galbreath was released from the practice squad

With the injury to Loudermilk, it is perfect timing that rookie defensive tackle Derrick Harmon says he's healthy and ready to go when his number is called. Head coach Mike Tomlin says that Harmon is questionable at best so his practice participation will be something to keep a close eye on this week. If Harmon cannot go, and Loudermilk is on IR, look for even more snaps for rookie defensive tackle Yahya Black.
