Steelers release Kam Kelly, add Marcus Allen to roster

The Steelers have made some roster moves this week.

In the wake of recent events, the Pittsburgh Steelers have forced to make some roster moves. The first more was to release safety Kameron Kelly in light of his recent arrest. Kelly had been on the 53-man roster and so the Steelers had to make a corresponding roster move. According to multiple sources, the Steelers have promoted safety Marcus Allen to the roster to fill Kelly’s spot.

Allen has spent all of the 2019 season on the practice squad. Considering the depth Pittsburgh has at safety, don’t be shocked if Allen dresses and plays a fairly heavy role on special teams. This week the Steelers go on road to take on the New York Jets.
