Steelers Strengthen Roster with Signings of First-Round Pick, Undrafted Wide Receiver

The Steelers made several roster moves on Monday, including the signing of first-round pick Troy Fautanu and wide receiver Jaray Jenkins. Unfortunately, defensive back Luq Barcoo was waived with an injury designation as part of the corresponding transaction.

Jenkins had previously spent the preseason with the Jaguars after going undrafted in 2023. During his time with the Jaguars, he had two catches for 32 yards in preseason games. Despite this, he did not make the final cut to 53 players at the end of the summer. Barcoo, who was on Pittsburgh’s practice squad last year, played in three games for the Jaguars in 2020. During those games, he had 10 tackles and one pass defensed.

These roster moves represent the Steelers’ ongoing efforts to strengthen their team and make necessary adjustments as they prepare for the upcoming season. With new additions and changes to the roster, the team is working towards building a competitive and cohesive unit for the challenges ahead.
