Steelers Sign Three-Time Pro Bowler
The Steelers added depth to their roster by signing the veteran player on Monday.
PITTSBURGH, PA — Three-time Pro Bowler Melvin Ingram signed a one-year contract with the Steelers on Monday following a visit with team officials, the NFL's Ian Rappaport reported.
Ingram, 32, was one of the top remaining free agents on the market. The linebacker spent his entire nine-year career with the Los Angeles Chargers, who did not re-sign him following last season.
In 2020, while enduring several knee injuries, Ingram played just seven games. He had five quarterback sacks, two passes defensed and one interception, but did not record a quarterback sack.
