The Pittsburgh Steelers were busy today, reportedly signing one name to the practice squad. 

But just when you thought they were done, they went back to the market. 

Unfortunately, it came at the cost of a solid fill-in, although it foreshadows the return of an incumbent starter:

No More Winging It

The Steelers signed fullback Jack Colletto to the practice squad and released fullback Zander Horvath and punter Brad Wing.

Colletto was signed by the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent following the 2023 NFL Draft.

Colletto played at Oregon State where he played in 43 games, finishing with 110 carries for 401 yards and 22 touchdowns and four receptions for 37 yards and a touchdown.

The versatile Colletto also played quarterback, completing 25 of 50 passes for 254, returned kicks and played linebacker early in his career.

Colletto was a Hornung Award Winner his senior season, an All-Pac-12 First Team selection (all-purpose) and an Associated Press All-Pac-12 Second Team selection (all purpose). - Teresa Varley, Pittsburgh Steelers 

Wing was filling in for Percy Harvin at punter as he continued to recover from a hamstring injury that forced him to miss the last two games. Wing's second stint with the Steelers went well, and when you consider that he hadn't punted for the team in nearly a decade, he and the Steelers should be proud of what they accomplished, even in such a short time frame.
