Pittsburgh Steelers waive RB Trey Edmunds

The first order of business (there will be many) for the Steelers was to waive running back Trey Edmunds. 

The Pittsburgh Steelers offseason started sooner than many hoped or expected. And, with that, their first order of business — there will be many — was to waive running back Trey Edmunds.

Edmunds was signed by the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent in 2017. After Pittsburgh signed him to its practice squad in 2018, Edmunds had been waived and re-signed by the team several times and appeared in 19 games. He spent the final seven games of the season on injured reserve after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 10.

His brother, Terrell, is a Steelers safety.

He’s baaaack! Trey Edmunds replaces TE Vance McDonald’s roster spot

Edmunds has been signed to Pittsburgh’s 53-man roster.

Former Steelers running back Trey Edmunds is no longer former. The team announced on Tuesday that not only is he back with Pittsburgh, but he was signed to the 53-man roster. Edmunds was released on Saturday to make room for linebackers Avery Williams and Jayrone Elliott.

The fourth-year back will take tight end Vance McDonald’s spot on the roster. McDonald was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday after testing positive for the virus.

Steelers sign WR Cody White to practice squad

The Steelers bolstered their practice squad depth at wide receiver on Thursday.

Per the Pittsburgh Steelers, wide receiver Cody White was signed to their practice squad on Thursday. The team brought him in for a visit on Tuesday and must’ve liked what transpired.

We all know that Big Ben loves him some big receivers, and White fits the bill. The Kansas City Chiefs initially signed the 6-3 Michigan State product as an undrafted free agent after the 2020 NFL draft. White also spent time on the offseason rosters of the New York Giants and was most recently with the Denver Broncos.

White has football in his blood. His father, Sheldon White, was a cornerback for the New York Giants, Detroit Lions, and Cincinnati Bengals from 1988 to 1993. As a Lion, the elder White had an interception returned for a touchdown in 1991, which was — believe it or not — the last season Detroit won a postseason game.
