Steelers release once-promising third-round pick

The Pittsburgh Steelers are continuing to change up the roster as the season reaches the halfway point.  According to a team announcement, Pittsburgh has released veteran defensive end DeMarvin Leal.  A former third-round pick out of Texas A&M in 2022, Leal played in a total of 31 games over the last four seasons. His most impactful season was in 2023 when he played in 12 games and started four of them. He recorded 15 total tackles, two tackles for loss, two quarterback hits and his only career sack.  The 25-year-old will now look to make a name elsewhere if he isn’t somehow brought back to the practice squad. This is the latest in a series of moves made by the organization over the last week or so. Most notably, the team traded for veteran safety Kyle Dugger, who made four tackles in the team’s win over the Indianapolis Colts last Sunday afternoon.  The team also made an intriguing move by signing two-time Super Bowl champion wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the practice squad.  Valdes-ScantlinRead More
