  "account": "The Pittsburgh Steelers have brought back a familiar face to their practice squad, signing former Clemson Tigers edge rusher K.J. Henry for the third time in two years. On Tuesday, the Steelers announced they had signed Henry to their practice squad following his recent workout. The NFL prospect had been impressing with the San Francisco 49ers during training camp before an injury ended his summer. Henry was the 49th overall pick by the Washington Commanders in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, but only played one season with the team before being released in August 2024. During his rookie year, Henry appeared in just 10 games and made three starts, recording 19 tackles, four tackles for loss, two quarterback hits, and 1.5 sacks. Since then, Henry has had brief stints with the Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, Cleveland Browns, and the 49ers before returning to Pittsburgh for his third stint. The Steelers have signed him once each in 2025 and 2026. For the latest Steelers news, including injury updates and trade rumors, follow TheSteelersWire on X and like their Facebook page.",
