This opens up a three-week window for him to practice with the team before he has to be added to the active roster.
Witherspoon, 27, is a former third-round pick of the 49ers back in 2017. He played out the final year of his four-year, $3.88 million contract that included a $973,572 signing bonus.
The Seahawks signed Whiterhspoon to a one-year contract worth $4 million last March. However, Seattle traded Witherspoon to the Steelers coming out of camp. He re-signed to a two-year deal in Pittsburgh this offseason.
In 2022, Witherspoon has appeared in seven games for the Steelers and recorded 20 total tackles, one interception and two passes defended.
