Practice Squad Moves

The Steelers made a series of roster moves as they released defensive lineman Elisha Joesph and first year receiver Jamar Newsome.

Joesph was signed to the practice squad on October 18th to help the Steelers deal with depth problems on the defensive lineman.

Jamar Johnson made the Jacksonville Jaguars roster out of training camp but was released on September 20th and signed to their practice squad. Johnson played three seasons for the UCF Golden Knights; recording 65 catches for 986 yards and seven touchdowns. In all three seasons Johnson caught at least one pass over 50 yards and scored a rushing touchdown in 2010.

In four preseason games with the Jaguars, Johnson caught six passes for 118 yards averaging 19.7 yards per catch.
