We mentioned yesterday that within hours of being released by the Cowboys, veteran safety Will Allen was spotted at the Steelers facility.

It was not just a social call, as Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports Allen has signed to rejoin the Steelers today.

The corresponding move hasn’t been announced, though Dulac said safety Damon Cromartie-Smith is expected to be released to make room for Allen.

The Steelers have been willing to shake things up a bit in the wake of their 0-4 start, which beats the alternative. And bringing back a guy who was around when they actually won games is the next step.
