The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed released defensive lineman Kyler Baugh to their practice squad , the team announced on Monday. Baugh was among the Steelers' final roster cuts for the 53-man roster.
Baugh re-signed with the Steelers in January after spending almost the entire 2025 season on the team's practice squad. He did not appear in a game. Baugh was released on Dec. 24 to make room for wide receiver Brandon Johnson. Baugh was re-signed to the practice squad a week later.
This preseason, he finished with four tackles, one-half sack and two quarterback hits over 53 snaps of defense in three games.

Baugh first joined the Steelers last August after they were decimated with injuries along their defensive line.
He went undrafted out of the University of Minnesota in the 2024 NFL Draft and had NFL stints with the New Orleans Saints, New York Giants and most recently with the Atlanta Falcons practice squad at the end of 2024 , prior to signing with the St. Louis Battlehawks in the UFL.
At Minnesota, Baugh played in 26 games and made 77 tackles, seven tackles for a loss and four sacks. He also broke up four passes, forced one fumble and recovered one fumble.
Baugh played his first three seasons of college ball (2019-21) at Houston Baptist, where he played in 26 career games with 18 starts and made 104 career tackles, which included 11 tackles for a loss and five sacks. He also broke up four passes, forced a fumble and recovered another.
