Six days after waiving him and 13 days after signing him for the first time, the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday once again signed tight end Kevin Foelsch.
A former Division II star at New Haven, Foelsch initially joined the Steelers on July 29 but was let go last week. The 6-foot-4, 250-pound Foelsch made some plays during camp practices at Saint Vincent but faces a stacked position room in which to make an impression.
Foelsch has not appeared in any NFL regular-season games but has spent time on the rosters of the Carolina Panthers, New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs.

Also signed Monday was Mikey Victor, a 6-3, 209-pound cornerback who spent last year’s training camp with the New England Patriots, totaling four tackles and a pass breakup in three preseason games. Victor finished his college career at Alabama State.
Foelsch and Victor take the roster spots of DJ Thomas-Jones and Cameron McCutcheon, respectively. Thomas-Jones, who was in part in camp as a fullback, was waived outright. McCutcheon, a cornerback, was waived/injured after suffering a hamstring ailment Saturday during the Steelers’ preseason opener in Jacksonville.
