Steelers sign LB Kenny Willekes

The Steelers have made a pair of roster moves on Tuesday.

Pittsburgh announced the club has signed linebacker Kenny Willekes.

A Vikings seventh-round pick in 2020, Willekes appeared in six games for Minnesota in 2021. He recorded 2.5 sacks and seven quarterback hits with one pass defensed.

Since late 2023, Willekes has been with the Michigan Panthers of the USFL/UFL.

As a corresponding move, the team waived offensive tackle Gareth Warren with an injury designation.
