The Steelers made a roster move a day after beating the Green Bay Packers 23-19.
Defensive tackle Breiden Fehoko has been waived.
He began the season on the team’s practice squad but was promoted to the 53-man roster in September.
Fehoko signed with the Steelers in the offseason and spent three years with the Chargers.
He originally signed as an undrafted free agent after the 2020 draft.
Fehoko was unable to get playing time due to Keeanu Benton and Montravius Adams playing well so far this season.
With 52 men on the roster, the Steelers are likely to sign an inside linebacker after losing Kwon Alexander for the season to injury.
Alexander was the second ILB to go down in the past two weeks.
