The Pittsburgh Steelers have been searching for fresh receiver depth over the past several days. On Monday, the team found that in a familiar face — Cornell Powell.
The Steelers announced Monday it signed Powell to their training camp roster. Powell is back with the Steelers after spending about a week with the team’s practice squad from November 25-December 2 last year.
In between, Powell played for the DC Defenders of the UFL.
The Kansas City Chiefs selected the wideout at No. 181 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. He appeared in three games during the 2022 campaign but hasn’t played in the regular season since then.
Powell was on the Chiefs practice squad when the team won the Super Bowl following the 2022 and 2023 campaigns.
In other moves Monday, the Steelers also signed wide receiver Isaiah Winstead. The wideout’s representation announced the signing Sunday evening.
To make space for the two receivers, the team waived fellow wideout Colton Dowell and waived/injured offensive lineman Lorenzo Thompson.
