Peat, who has primarily played guard since joining the Steelers during training camp, made 12 starts at left tackle for the Saints in 2023. On Sunday, he will be protecting a quarterback who is nearing 42 years old and dealing with a fracture in his left wrist.\n\nThe Steelers also announced the promotion of cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. from the practice squad for Sunday&#8217;s game, which could mean his season debut. Samuel provides the Steelers with depth at a position that has suffered recent injuries to starters Joey Porter Jr. (hip) and Darius Slay (concussion).\n\nSamuel, ranked as the number 14 free agent in the offseason, signed with the Steelers&#8217; practice squad on November 11th after undergoing spinal fusion surgery in the offseason.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I feel great.
