Steelers Elevate Driscoll, Porter Jr.; Waive Martin

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – The Pittsburgh Steelers elevated offensive lineman Jack Driscoll and cornerback Daryl Porter Jr. from their practice squad to the active roster on Saturday, bolstering depth for their Week 16 matchup against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field on Sunday. The moves address multiple injuries along the offensive line and in the secondary, while the team also waived defensive tackle Brodric Martin, who was claimed by the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Steelers face significant challenges on the offensive line entering the game. Starting right tackle Broderick Jones was placed on injured reserve after suffering a season-ending neck injury in Week 12. Backup Calvin Anderson joined him on injured reserve following a knee injury sustained in practice. Guard Isaac Seumalo is sidelined with a triceps injury, and left tackle Andrus Peat missed time due to a concussion in Week 14 against the Baltimore Ravens. Although Peat has returned to practice, fourth-stringer Dylan Cook has held onto the starting left tackle role amid the reshuffling.
