Coale was with the Steelers this past offseason and as he was originally signed to a futures contract last January. Coale, who is the son-in-law of former Steelers offensive lineman and color analyst for the team radio broadcasts Tunch Ilkin, was waived/injured in August after he reportedly suffered a displaced fracture finger that required surgery.
