Saturday morning, the team announced it was signing DBs Brandon Hill and William Wright, while waiving K.C. Eziomume and Gervarrius Owens with an injury designation.
Owens suffered a leg injury during practice Friday.
Wright, an undrafted free agent from the University of Tennessee this year, was reported on last night by my colleague Lester.
Hill is a veteran safety and is entering his fourth season out of the University of Pittsburgh. He's 5'11" and 195 lbs. He came into the league as a seventh-round pick of the Houston Texans in 2023. He's appeared in two career games with zero starts. The majority of his snaps came on special teams.
He was on and off their practice squad throughout 2023 and spent 2024 on injured reserve. Last season, he was on and off the Las Vegas Raiders' practice squad and again with the Texans' practice squad.
