Roster Moves

Rejoins Panthers as safety Nick Scott signs a one‑year contract after posting a career‑high 111 tackles last season, giving Carolina a proven defender for a roster that lost several secondary starters. Meanwhile, bolsters Steelers by adding wideout Michael Pittman Jr. and running back Rico Dowdle, moves that coach Mike McCarthy says will underpin a “physical, run‑first” attack in 2026, signaling Pittsburgh’s shift away from a pass‑heavy scheme toward ground dominance.
