Steelers Sign CJ Henderson to Practice Squad
The Pittsburgh Steelers have made a notable addition to their practice squad, as they have signed cornerback CJ Henderson, this according to NFL Network’s Tom Pellissero.
Henderson was a former first round selection (ninth overall) of the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2020 draft.
In September of 2021, Jacksonville traded Henderson to the Carolina Panthers, in exchange for tight end Dan Arnold.
Spending parts of three seasons with the Panthers, Henderson recorded a pair of interceptions, and struggled in coverage, with a 110.6 passer rating against, whenever he was targeted.
Henderson signed with the Houston Texans in March of this year, but was released by Houston at the end of preseason.
The addition of Henderson gives Pittsburgh another depth option at CB, with Cory Trice being placed on IR, after suffering a hamstring injury, in the Steelers’ Week 3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.
