The Pittsburgh Steelers may not be done adding to their roster — as they recently brought in a former fifth-round defensive end for a workout ahead of their Week 6 matchup vs. the Cleveland Browns.
On Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reported DE KJ Henry — who last spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad — worked out for Pittsburgh. Should the visit have gone well, Henry may very well be signed to the Steelers‘ practice squad soon.
Selected by the Commanders with the 137th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, Henry appeared in 10 games during his rookie season but was ultimately released by Washington in August 2024 as part of final roster cuts.
He would play for the Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys for two games each before signing with the Eagles’ practice squad in November 2024, where he became a Super Bowl champion.
He was waived in July 2025 and was claimed off waivers by the Browns, where he turned heads for a strong preseason performance — specifically a pick-six against his former Eagles. He was waived on September 23 and joined Philadelphia’s practice squad a second time on October 2, but was released a day later.
