The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed veteran cornerback Tre Flowers to the 53-man active roster on Christmas Day. He joins the Steelers after playing two games for the Detroit Lions this season.

Flowers began his NFL career in 2018, when the Seattle Seahawks selected him in the fifth round of the 2018 draft. He spent four seasons in Seattle and then went on to play for multiple teams in the next four years.

During his time in Seattle, Flowers played in 47 games and tallied 212 tackles, two sacks, 16 passes defended, and three interceptions. He recorded both of his sacks and all three of his interceptions during the 2019 season.

In October 2021, the Seahawks waived Flowers, but the Cincinnati Bengals quickly picked him up. Flowers finished the 2021 season with the Bengals and then re-signed with the team in 2022. He played in 15 games for the Bengals during the 2022 season and then signed with the Atlanta Falcons in 2023, where he played in all 17 games.
