Steelers sign CB Jaylon Guilbeau, RB Alex Tecza
The Pittsburgh Steelers signed cornerback Jaylon Guilbeau and running back Alex Tecza on Monday, and activated defensive back Jalen Ramsey off the physically unable to perform list. Roster moves included waiving Israel Mukuamu according to one report, or placing him on injured reserve per another, and releasing kicker Laith Marjan.
Steelers bolster roster with two undrafted signings, activate Ramsey
The Pittsburgh Steelers added two undrafted free agents to their roster on Monday, signing cornerback Jaylon Guilbeau and running back Alex Tecza. The team also activated defensive back Jalen Ramsey off the physically unable to perform list, as reported by ESPN's Brooke Pryor and confirmed by the club's announcement.
Guilbeau, who played college football at Texas, was one of three defensive backs to try out for the Steelers on Sunday, according to Heavy. He spent part of the offseason with the Carolina Panthers.
Tecza, a Naval Academy product, was teammates with Steelers seventh-round rookie Eli Heidenreich. Both appeared in games for Navy from 2023-25, and last season both recorded more than 1,000 yards from scrimmage. Tecza was second for Navy with 902 rushing yards, averaging 5.7 yards per carry, and scored 10 touchdowns. Over his career at Navy, he averaged 5.5 yards per rush and 11 yards per carry, with 41 catches for 451 yards and three receiving scores in 38 games.
Though listed as a fullback, Tecza's physical style has drawn attention. Steelers Depot's Josh Carney described him in April as a "physical, downhill runner who dished out punishment and consistently fell forward."
Roster moves: Mukuamu and Marjan
To make room on the roster, the Steelers made corresponding moves. Heavy reported that the team waived defensive back Israel Mukuamu, while NBC Sports said the team placed Mukuamu on injured reserve. Both outlets noted the Steelers released kicker Laith Marjan on Sunday, opening a roster spot.
The signings and the activation of Ramsey come as the Steelers continue to shape their roster ahead of the season.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
