Overview
- The team announced Bishop’s release on Monday, clearing space on the roster for Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
- Bishop spent this season on the practice squad after serving as Pittsburgh’s starting slot cornerback in 2024.
- He recorded four interceptions during his first year as a starter as an undrafted free agent.
- He logged 45 defensive snaps across two preseason games while facing a crowded battle for the nickel role.
- Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin cited the need for Bishop to make a game-day splash against competitors such as Jalen Ramsey and Brandin Echols, and Bishop is now a street free agent eligible to sign elsewhere.
