Steelers Re-sign Breiden Fehoko
The Pittsburgh Steelers have re-signed nose tackle Breiden Fehoko, this according to the NFL’s transaction page.
In 2020, the Los Angeles Chargers brought in Fehoko, as an undrafted free agent. From 2020 to 2022, he appeared in 19 games, recording 36 combined tackles.
Fehoko signed with the Steelers on April 4th of last year. The native of Honolulu had been waived by the team towards the end of preseason, but was placed on the practice squad shortly after.
It was in early September that Fehoko was on Pittsburgh’s practice squad with his cousin, Simi Fehoko, who’s a wide receiver.
On September 20th, Fehoko was elevated to the Steelers’ active roster for DL depth. However, he didn’t dress for a game.
Fehoko was then waived again by the Steelers on November 13th, but re-signed with the practice squad. After initially not being given a reserve/futures contract, Fehoko became a free agent.
Keeanu Benton should be Pittsburgh’s starting NT entering the 2024 season. It’s likely that Fehoko would compete with veteran Montravius Adams in camp, for a spot as a backup to Benton.
