NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports that the Pittsburgh Steelers are signing offensive tackle Calvin Anderson. According to Garafolo, the Steelers worked out Anderson on Monday.
The signing of Anderson comes less than 24 hours, after it was reported that rookie OT Troy Fautanu would miss the remainder of the season, due to a dislocated kneecap.
Coming out of the University of Texas in 2019, Anderson signed on with the New England Patriots as an undrafted free agent. He was waived in May of that year, and picked up by the New York Jets.
Anderson got his most extensive playing time with the Denver Broncos from 2020-22, where he dressed for a total of 41 games; 12 of which were starts.
In 2023, Anderson rejoined New England. He started two games on the Pats’ offensive line.
Anderson is considered a swing tackle, so it’s likely the Steelers will give him an opportunity to backup Broderick Jones and Dan Moore Jr.
