Jordan Berry is back for another stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The 31-year-old punter was signed to the practice squad Tuesday, a day when coach Mike Tomlin announced that Pressley Harvin III is dealing with hip discomfort.

Berry was the Steelers punter from 2015-19. The Steelers replaced him with Dustin Colquitt at the start of the 2019 season only to re-sign Berry a month into the season. Last year, Berry lost his job to Harvin, a seventh-round draft pick from Georgia Tech.

Berry then signed with the Minnesota Vikings, and he had career-best 47.1-yard gross punting and 41.9-yard net punting averages. He was released by the Vikings on Aug. 25, losing a competition with undrafted free agent rookie Ryan Wright.

To make room for Berry on the practice squad, the Steelers released outside linebacker Delontae Scott, who had been elevated twice to the active roster in the wake of T.J. Watt’s pectoral injury. Scott played seven snaps against New England and nine against Cleveland.
