Overview

• The team placed undrafted rookie tight end D.J. Thomas-Jones on waived/injured status, with an injured reserve return pending if he clears waivers.
• Thomas-Jones missed multiple practices and the preseason opener after recovering from an earlier leg injury that was feared to be an Achilles tear.
• Pittsburgh had valued his multi-positional versatility, rewarding the South Alabama product with a $30,000 UDFA bonus to match a franchise record.
• Defensive back Cameron McCutcheon was also waived/injured following a soft-tissue issue that sidelined him after the preseason opener.
• To fill the open spots, the Steelers added cornerback Mikey Victor and tight end Kevin Foelsch, both undrafted free agents yet to play in a regular-season game.
