Steelers to Sign Ex-Patriots Safety Jabrill Peppers
Jabrill Peppers joins the Steelers to fill depth after DeShon Elliott's knee injury and the trade of Minkah Fitzpatrick, adding versatility with his box and slot safety skills.
- On Tuesday, NFL Media reported the Pittsburgh Steelers signed veteran safety Jabrill Peppers, the team confirmed, marking his fourth professional stop.
- DeShon Elliott's knee injury forced the Steelers to sign Jabrill Peppers two days after Elliott suffered an MCL sprain in their Week 1 opener against the New York Jets.
- An eight-year veteran, Jabrill Peppers brings 511 combined tackles, seven interceptions, and 99 game appearances with 85 starts, while coaches praise his ability across safety spots, nickel, and special teams.
- Peppers could be thrust into the lineup immediately, potentially starting due to Elliott's absence, and will face the New England Patriots in Week 3 at Gillette Stadium on September 21st, 2025.
- Given roster construction and recent cuts, the Steelers carried just eight defensive backs, relying on Juan Thornhill, Chuck Clark, and Miles Killebrew; Peppers was released by New England on August 29th, 2025.
