Steelers GM Omar Khan announced the Steelers have signed 13 players to their initial practice squad, per Nick Farabaugh.
That leaves four vacancies, including an international exemption. One of those spots will likely be filled by S Juanyeh Thomas, although Khan didn’t announce that signing.
The full list includes:
- RB Lew Nichols
- RB Travis Homer
- WR Brandon Smith
- WR Max Hurleman
- TE Lake McRee
- OL Doug Nester
- OL Steven Jones
- DL Esezi Otomewo
- DL Kyler Baugh
- DB Sebastian Castro
- DB Doneiko Slaughter
- LB Jacoby Windmon
- DE Julius Welschof
Thomas, 26, signed with the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent out of Georgia Tech following the 2022 NFL Draft. He was waived coming out of the preseason and re-signed to the practice squad.
Thomas returned to Dallas on a futures deal for the 2023 season and remained on the active roster through this past offseason when he signed with the Colts. Unfortunately, he was among Indianapolis’ final roster cuts this year.
In 2025, Thomas appeared in seven games for the Cowboys and recorded 26 total tackles.
