Steelers activate S DeShon Elliott from injured reserve ahead of Saints game

The Steelers have activated safety DeShon Elliott from injured reserve, allowing him to make his season debut against the Saints on Sunday. Elliott missed the start of the season due to hamstring and knee injuries sustained earlier this year. He played only five games last season but recorded 38 tackles, a sack, an interception, and a forced fumble. The team has also elevated wide receivers Brandon Johnson and Brandon Smith from the practice squad, while Ben Skowronek has been ruled out, leaving D.K. Metcalf, Germie Bernard, and Kaden Wetjen as the available wideouts.
