Steelers Place CB Anthony Averett On Practice Squad IR, Sign Zyon Gilbert As Replacement

The Pittsburgh Steelers have made some moves on their practice squad. CB Anthony Averett, who signed with the team at the start of spring practices, was placed on the practice squad injured list while they filled his spot with CB Zyon Gilbert, per Aaron Wilson on X.

Averett didn't make the intial 53-man roster and ended up signing to the practice squad the next week. He has been with the team since. The Steelers aren't required to provide injury information on the practice squad players, but this now makes sense why Averett hasn't been getting elevated while Cory Trice Jr. has been on IR, especially once the team moved on from Darius Rush.

Gilbert was brought in for a tryout in the middle of training camp on Aug. 13. He didn't make the initial 53-man roster but signed to the practice squad. He was then released from the practice squad on Sept. 17. It is not uncommon for players to circle back throughout the season.
