Heading to Pittsburgh The Steelers signed Smith to a reserve/future contract Thursday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Impact Smith ended the 2025 season on the Patriots' practice squad after spending the majority of the campaign with the Jets organization. He joined the NFL in May of 2021 as an undrafted free agent and has appeared in three regular-season games, all of which came over the last two years with the Jets. Smith will be a part of the Steelers' 90-man roster when the offseason begins Feb. 9, which affords him the opportunity to participate in OTAs, minicamp and training camp.

Inked to Jets' active roster The Jets signed Smith from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Impact Smith's addition to the active roster corresponds with the Jets placing Josh Reynolds (hip) on injured reserve. Smith was elevated to the Jets' active roster for Week 6 against the Broncos and played 12 snaps on special teams without showing up on the box score otherwise. He'll give the Jets an additional body on special teams, but he could also be in the mix for snaps on offense against the Bengals on Sunday due to the absences of Reynolds and Garrett Wilson (knee).

Impact Smith was elevated to the active roster ahead of the team's 13-11 loss to the Broncos on Sunday, failing to record any stats while playing 12 snaps with the special-teams unit.
