Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Drew Allar (16) looks to pass while being pursued by New York Jets defensive tackle Mazi Smith (58) during the third quarter at Acrisure Stadium.

Dealing with multiple injuries across the defensive line, the Green Bay Packers were on the lookout for reinforcements. After losing starter Javon Hargrave, veteran Chris McClellan is set to take over at nose tackle. However, the depth behind McClellan is severely lacking. As the Packers look to beef up the position, they've added a former first-round pick to their practice squad.
