The Steelers announce that they have signed safety Jordan Dangerfield to the practice squad today. To make room on the practice squad for the signing, the team has released DE Ethan Hemer.

I reported earlier in the week that the Steelers had Dangerfield in for a workout. With the injuries to Polamalu, Ventrone and Shamarko Thomas, safety depth has become a concern. Dangerfield was with the team in training camp and looked good in the preseason games he participated in. He’s been playing for the FXFL this fall.
