Steelers Sign WR Cotchery, Activate Kemoeatu

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – The Pittsburgh Steelers bolstered their wide receiver corps Sunday afternoon.

According to the Steelers, the team signed Jerricho Cotchery to a one-year deal. Financial terms were not released.

Cotchery had previously spent his entire seven-year career with the New York Jets. During his time there, he caught 353 passes for 4,474 yards and 18 touchdowns.

To make room for him on the roster, the Steelers placed defensive end Sunny Harris on the waived/injured list.

Harris was hurt during Friday's preseason loss to the Washington Redskins.

Pittsburgh also activated offensive guard Chris Kemoeatu from the active/PUP list.

The Steelers' next preseason game is Thursday at home against the Philadelphia Eagles.
