Doneiko Slaughter Elevated to Steelers Active Roster for Week 1

Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Doneiko Slaughter was elevated from the practice squad on Saturday ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Atlanta Falcons. Slaughter, who went undrafted in 2025 out of Tennessee before signing a future contract with Pittsburgh in January, provides secondary depth with starting cornerback Joey Porter Jr. listed as questionable due to a back injury and ongoing contract extension talks.
