PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers have placed Taco Charlton on the Active/Inactive list, allowing him to play in Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns and then revert back to the practice squad afterwards.

The move comes in light of the Steelers downgrading outside linebacker Melvin Ingram to out with a groin injury. Charlton will work with Derrek Tuszka as backups behind T.J. Watt and Alex Higsmith.

Charlton, 26, is a former 2017 first-round pick who was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys. He's played 44 games, including 12 starts, with three different teams - Cowboys, Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs.

The Steelers signed Charlton to the practice squad on Sept. 21. This will be his first active game for Pittsburgh.
