The Pittsburgh Steelers tried to acquire a veteran defensive lineman at the trade deadline to replace injured Daniel Ekuale but failed, leading to the signing of Brodric Martin-Rhodes from the Kansas City Chiefs' practice squad. To make room, the team waived former third-round pick DeMarvin Leal. Ekuale suffered a torn ACL in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
