The Pittsburgh Steelers have re-signed outside linebacker Markus Golden to a one-year contract following injuries to players Kyron Johnson and David Perales. Golden, 33, returns to the team after participating in 16 games last season, where he recorded four sacks and six tackles for loss. His addition bolsters the team's edge rushing depth behind starters T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith, as he competes for a roster spot against Jeremiah Moon. Golden brings significant experience, having played for the Cardinals and Giants prior to his tenure with the Steelers, amassing 51 career sacks. The Steelers waived Perales to accommodate Golden's signing, who is expected to contribute both on defense and as a veteran presence in the locker room. This marked Golden's return to the Steelers for his 11th NFL season, showcasing the team's strategy of adding depth amidst injury challenges.
