The full list includes:

1. Activating LB Marcus Allen from the COVID-19 list
2. Placing CB Arthur Maulet on the COVID-19 list
3. Signing WR Darrius Shepherd to the practice squad. 

Allen, 25, is a former fifth-round pick of the Steelers back in 2018. He agreed to a four-year, $2.75 million contract with the Steelers, but was waived at the start of the 2019 season.

From there, Allen returned to the Steelers’ practice squad before being called up towards the end of the 2019 season. He re-signed on a one-year deal for the 2021 season. 

In 2020, Allen appeared in 14 games for the Steelers and recorded 29 tackles and no sacks.
