The Pittsburgh Steelers are signing a familiar face as their new punter.
The news comes a day after Cameron Johnston suffered a season-ending knee injury in the Steelers' Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons. His leg was hit by Falcons defenders during a punt attempt in the fourth quarter, and he exited the game with what head coach Mike Tomlin described as a "serious" injury following the contest.
Waitman caught on with the Las Vegas Raiders in July of 2021 towards the beginning of training camp. He was left off of the team's 53-man roster and was subsequently waived that August. Waitman appeared in two regular season games to close out the 2021 campaign, recording a total of seven punts for 365 yards over that span.
