Steelers Sign Eagles Veteran OL and Two Players to Bolster Team Depth

The Pittsburgh Steelers are retooling their roster following back-to-back losses, announcing the additions of offensive lineman Jack Driscoll, safety Darrick Forrest, and wide receiver John Rhys Plumlee to the practice squad on Tuesday.

Driscoll, a fourth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles, brings five seasons of NFL experience to Pittsburgh. He appeared in 67 games and made 18 starts with the Eagles, proving himself as a versatile blocker capable of playing both tackle and guard. A former standout at Auburn University, Driscoll also spent two seasons at Massachusetts before transferring, starting a combined 47 college games.

Forrest, originally drafted by the Washington Commanders in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft (163rd overall), offers valuable experience in the secondary. Over four seasons in Washington, he appeared in 40 games with 17 starts, recording 126 total tackles, four interceptions, and two forced fumbles. Forrest also contributed on special teams and briefly spent time with the Indianapolis Colts earlier this year. Before the NFL, he starred at the University of Cincinnati, where he tallied 165 tackles and four and a half tackles for loss.

Forgotten Commanders star given chance to resurrect career with AFC  challenger

Meanwhile, Plumlee reunites with the Steelers after initially signing as an undrafted free agent in 2024. The former UCF quarterback and wide receiver spent time with both the Seattle Seahawks and Jacksonville Jaguars before returning to Pittsburgh. Across his college career, Plumlee played in 52 games, throwing for 5,838 yards and 34 touchdowns, while adding 296 receiving yards as a hybrid playmaker.

To make room for the new additions, the Steelers released running back Raheem Blackshear and linebacker Jacoby Windmon from the practice squad.

Pittsburgh’s moves reflect a continued emphasis on depth and flexibility as they aim to rebound in the second half of the season.

Eagles Legend Wants to Withdraw from Eagles Hall of Fame If Kevin Patullo Isn't Fired
Can you believe it? A living legend of the Philadelphia Eagles, LeSean McCoy, is "rebelling" and threatening to withdraw from the Eagles Hall of Fame – the place that honors his great contributions! The reason? All because of offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo! What's happening with this legendary team? Read now for the hottest NFL "drama"! On his Speakeasy show, McCoy "dropped a bomb" with a shocking statement: “Take me off. Nobody has ever asked. I’m going to say ‘Mr. Lurie, it’s either me or Kevin’. If Kevin is not fired, put 25 back out there on the street.” (Translation: "Remove me. No one has ever asked. I'm going to say 'Mr. Lurie, it's either me or Kevin'. If Kevin isn't fired, put number 25 back on the street.") Number 25 – McCoy's legendary jersey number – could be "kicked out" of the Hall of Fame if Patullo remains in position? This isn't a joke, but a direct challenge to team owner Jeffrey Lurie! This "extreme" demand stems from extreme disappointment with the disastrous performance of the Eagles' offense under Patullo. The team that once "soared high" is now "free-falling" with silly mistakes, and McCoy isn't the only one "furious." Even Josh Reynolds "cursed" Patullo: “Kevin Patullo should never see the light of day again for the crimes he’s committed…” (Translation: "Kevin Patullo should never see the light of day again for the crimes he’s committed...") Is Patullo the "culprit" causing the Eagles to "sink"? Look at the "tragedy" of quarterback Jalen Hurts: In the most recent Monday Night Football game, he threw three interceptions – one of which was blamed on AJ Brown! Comparing this year's offensive stats to last year? Worlds apart! The problem isn't just the weak offensive line, but also the play-caller – Patullo is "miserably compared" to Kellen Moore, who once elevated the offense to new heights. The article points out: The Eagles are repeating a "historical curse" – the offense always "collapses" after losing a good coordinator, like in previous Super Bowl runs. Nick Sirianni is heavily criticized for the decision to hire Patullo: "A fatal mistake"! 👀 Eagles legend LeSean McCoy says if #Eagles do not fire OC Kevin Patullo he wants out of Hall of Fame “Take me off. Nobody has ever asked. I’m going to say ‘Mr. Lurie, it’s either me or Kevin’. If Kevin is not fired, put 25 back out there on the street”📸 @speakeasytlkshw pic.twitter.com/DcOkLiQejA — Jeff Skversky (@JeffSkversky) December 10, 2025 And the "darkest" data: In shotgun formation (51 plays), the Eagles only achieved 4.2 yards/play, 2.2 yards/rush, 5.2 yards/pass, with 4 "stupid" interceptions. But under center (15 plays)? Explosive with 10.2 yards/play, 8.8 yards/rush, 16.0 yards/pass, and 0 interceptions! Clearly, the offense performs "miraculously" better when balanced – so why is Patullo still "stubbornly persisting" with the outdated play style? Eagles fans are "boiling with rage": Will the team listen to McCoy and "deal with" Patullo to save the season? This drama is "exploding" on social media! McCoy – with his illustrious career at the Eagles – is he really withdrawing from the Hall of Fame? Or is this a "ploy" to push for change? Who will Jeffrey Lurie choose: The legend or the "culprit"? Don't miss out – follow now to see the "shocking" outcome of the Eagles' internal war! What do you think, comment below!
