PITTSBURGH — As it turns out, you can go back again.

The Steelers initially wanted to keep Sean Davis as an experienced backup at safety. But the veteran safety wanted an opportunity to win a starting job elsewhere, signing with Washington in the offseason.

And quarterback Josh Dobbs made the team’s initial 53-man roster a year ago before being traded one week into the season to the Jaguars for a fifth-round draft pick.

Both players, who were on the team’s roster to open the 2019 season, according to multiple reports will be back with the Steelers again this year after the team brought both back following their release by Washington and Jacksonville. The Steelers will release quarterback Devlin Hodges and safety Curtis Riley to make room on the roster for Dobbs and Davis. The team would like both Hodges and Riley on its practice squad.
