The Pittsburgh Steelers announced elevating veteran linebacker Jon Rhattigan from the practice squad for Week 2.
Wide receiver DK Metcalf won’t be the only former Seattle Seahawks player dressing for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2. The Steelers announced Saturday they have elevated linebacker Jon Rhattigan from their practice squad for Sunday’s home opener.
The Steelers will host the Seahawks at 1 pm ET on September 14.
“The Steelers elevated linebacker Jon Rhattigan from the practice squad to the Active/Inactive Roster for Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks at Acrisure Stadium,” Steelers.com’s Teresa Varley wrote. “He will revert back to the practice squad after the game.”
Rhattigan first joined the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent in 2021. He spent three seasons with the organization, appearing in 36 games from 2021-23.
Last season, Rhattigan played for the Carolina Panthers.
Sunday will be linebacker’s 2025 and Steelers debut. Pittsburgh signed Rhattigan to its practice squad on September 2, which was five days before the regular season began.
