The Pittsburgh Steelers continued to look at outside roster options even after training camp opened, bringing in two defensive free agents for visits on Thursday. The players identified were Jordan Whitehead and Eric Scott, giving Pittsburgh another chance to assess depth and fit during camp.
Whitehead stands out as the more notable name of the two because he is a Super Bowl champion safety. His visit suggests the Steelers are still examining ways to strengthen the secondary and add experienced competition as practices move forward.
Scott also visited as part of the same round of evaluations. With camp underway, teams often use these meetings to review medicals, gauge conditioning and determine whether a player could help on defense or special teams if a roster move becomes necessary.
The timing shows the Steelers are not treating the start of camp as the end of personnel work. Instead, Pittsburgh appears to be keeping its options open while continuing to monitor available free agents who could help later in camp or during the preseason.
