Steelers snag RB Godwin Igwebuike off Falcons practice squad

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed running back Godwin Igwebuike off of the Atlanta Falcons practice squad on Wednesday afternoon.

Igwebuike was elevated for the Falcons’ Week 2 win over the Packers, but since he was still on the practice squad, the Steelers were allowed to sign him to their active roster.
