According to Tom Pelissero, the Steelers have claimed G Lecitus Smith off the waiver wire.
He was cut last week by the Patriots and was set to clear waivers today before being claimed.
Smith, 26, was a sixth-round pick by the Cardinals out of Virginia Tech in the 2022 NFL Draft.
He was entering the second year of a four-year rookie contract when Arizona waived him coming out of the preseason. He later had stints with the Eagles and Texans on the practice squad.
Smith caught on with the Packers and signed to the practice squad to start the 2024 season. The Patriots signed him away to their active roster during the season.
In 2024, Smith appeared in eight games for the Patriots and made one start at center.
