When you are toiling at the end of the depth chart, your employment is always tenuous. Wide receiver Tevin Jones figured this out on Monday. The team released Jones after a couple of ugly drops Sunday night against the Buffalo Bills.
To replace Jones on the 53-man roster, Pittsburgh promoted wide receiver Amara Darboh. Darboh was selected in the third round of the 2017 draft by the Seattle Seahawks out of Michigan. Darboh bounced around between four other teams before signing with the Steelers in November.
The team has made no formal announcement of who will replace Darboh on the practice squad.
