The Steelers have added a new face at safety following DeShon Elliott’s injury against the Green Bay Packers.

According to a report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Steelers are signing safety Darrick Forrest to the practice squad.

Forrest was a fifth-round draft pick in the 2021 NFL Draft by the Washington Commanders, where he played the last four seasons. In 2025, he’s had stints with the Bills and Colts but didn’t appear in a game.

Forrest has played in 40 career games with 17 starts. In 2022, when he logged 11 of those starts, he recorded 88 combined tackles, four interceptions, and nine passes defensed.

The Steelers have not officially announced the move yet. The team is set to work out free agent safeties Eddie Jackson and Vonn Bell today.
