While outside options could be considered, the Steelers’ easiest choice is to stay within the roster. Luckily enough, the team signed former Atlanta Falcons linebacker Mykal Walker to their practice squad just last week, and immediately, he’s the clear-cut option to be promoted.

Walker started 12 games for the Falcons last season, recording 107 tackles, four tackles for loss, one sack, six pass deflections and two interceptions. Since being Atlanta’s fourth-round pick in 2020, he’s played at least 16 games per season, contributing on defense and special teams.
