The Steelers announced today that they have promoted defensive end Brian Arnfelt from the practice squad. LB Kion Wilson has been released to make room for the move. Wilson had a rough go of it earlier in the season, and hasn’t been active on game day for weeks.

Arnfelt is a UDFA out of Northwestern who has been on the practice squad since the beginning of the season. He was with the Steelers throughout training camp. Promoting Arnfelt is a depth move, as Brett Keisel is out again this week, and Steve McLendon is questionable for tomorrow night’s game. The rookie defensive end looked pretty good during the brief showings in preseason.
