We have signed LB Jacob Tuioti-Mariner to the practice squad.

Tuioti-Mariner, 25, was an undrafted rookie in 2018. He’s accumulated 54 tackles, three sacks, four TFL’s, and two forced fumbles in his career thus far.

Tuioti-Mariner will look to add depth to the Steelers front seven.



More to come.

Looks like he was growing as a DL and then he regressed trying to make a OLB

6-2 285....definitely a DT. Hopefully he has some run-stuffing talent.

So... you dump a LB and pass rusher that was having some success early in the year, and then you go and sign a "lower pedigree" guy because you suddenly discover you lack... depth.

Niiiiice.

Makes you wonder how the Steelers see him OLber or DE.

Why Jacob Tuioti-Mariner is the epitome of the Falcons defensive flexibility

After an offseason of unknowns, Tuioti-Mariner gets clarity in preseason

I guess maybe the coverage thing was too much for him, escpecially as a 4-3 OLB.

Can he play RT??? WR???

Scrambling to cover their LB woes.

Well, they seem to think he has something to offer so lets hope for the best. Time will tell and I think it is mandatory PS for a week before he can be activated (covid mandate but maybe his protocol with falcons may change that)



Salute the nation

Impact signing.

Good to have a mariner on the team. Very hardy and will be good to have on the roster when the weather gets bad.
