The Steelers are making strategic moves as they gear up for their upcoming game against the Bengals. They've elevated two key players, defensive back D'Shawn Jamison and linebacker Mark Robinson, from the practice squad to the Active/Inactive Roster. These players will be crucial to the team's strategy, but their roles will be temporary, as they'll revert back to the practice squad after the game. This move is a testament to the Steelers' dynamic approach to team management and player development.
D'Shawn Jamison, a versatile defensive player, has a strong background in football. He was signed to a Reserve/Future contract at the end of the 2024 season and spent training camp and the preseason with the team in 2025. Jamison's journey began with the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent following the 2023 NFL Draft. He quickly made an impact, being claimed off waivers by the Carolina Panthers. Jamison's performance in 2023 was impressive, with 15 games played, two starts, five tackles, three solo stops, and one pass defensed. His college football career at the University of Texas further solidifies his skills, with 60 games played, 40 starts, 139 tackles, 109 solo stops, six tackles for a loss, 23 passes defensed, two fumble recoveries, one sack, and one forced fumble. These achievements showcase Jamison's potential as a valuable asset to the Steelers.
Mark Robinson, another key player, was signed to the practice squad on November 4th and elevated for the Week 10 game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Robinson's NFL journey began with the Steelers in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He has demonstrated his versatility, playing in 38 games, starting four, and recording 34 tackles, 23 solo stops, one tackle for a loss, one sack, and two forced fumbles. In the 2024 season, Robinson's contributions were significant, with 17 games played, two starts, and 25 tackles, 19 solo stops, one quarterback hit, one tackle for loss, and one forced fumble. His consistent performance and adaptability make him a valuable addition to the Steelers' roster.
