Steelers Release Safety Keanu Neal Due to Failed Physical

The Pittsburgh Steelers have parted ways with Keanu Neal after the safety failed a physical, opening up salary cap space ahead of free agency.

Keanu Neal was released by the Pittsburgh Steelers after failing a physical, ending his tenure with the team after just one season.
Neal, who signed a two-year deal in March 2023, missed the final nine games of the season due to a rib injury.
The release of Neal frees up $2.25 million in cap space for the Steelers, with a dead money charge of $460K.
Neal's departure leaves Minkah Fitzpatrick and Damontae Kazee as the team's most experienced safeties.
The Steelers are expected to explore options in the safety market during free agency to bolster their secondary.
