The Steelers receive some safety and linebacker support in advance of their game against the Bengals on Saturday.

In order to make defensive adjustments before their matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday, the Steelers announced a number of roster changes today.

Veteran linebackers Myles Jack and Eric Rowe, a safety, were added to the active/inactive list by the team, providing Pittsburgh with depth at its two weakest positional groups. This season, neither player has yet to make an appearance in a regular season match.

Additionally, the Steelers activated defensive back Elijah Riley from injured reserve and signed linebacker Kyron Johnson from the practice squad, filling the two vacant spots on the 53-man roster left by running back Anthony McFarland’s release and safety Damontae Kazee being placed on the Reserve/Suspended by Commissioner list.

NFL regulations forced the Steelers to formally sign Johnson to the 53-man roster if they intended to play him for a fourth time, even though he had been raised to the active/inactive list in three consecutive weeks prior to Saturday’s game.

Riley is a defensive back with versatility who plays safety and slot corner in addition to his special team duties. Johnson has not yet played a defensive action in the regular season, but during the past three games, he has been a constant on the Steelers’ special teams unit.

With two of their best linebackers and four of their best safeties out of commission going into Week 16, the Steelers will need all the assistance they can get at those positions when they take on the Bengals on Saturday. In Pittsburgh, the game begins at Acrisure Stadium at 4:30 p.m. ET.
