Steelers Waive Injured Cornerback McCutcheon, Sign Ex-Patriots DB Victor

The Pittsburgh Steelers have waived cornerback Cameron McCutcheon with an injury designation after he suffered a hamstring injury in their preseason opener, likely leading to an injury settlement that would allow him to return to the NFL later this season. To address their thin cornerback depth, the Steelers signed defensive back Mikey Victor, a 6-foot-2 player who previously spent time with the New England Patriots and participated in the East-West Shrine Bowl, and tight end Kevin Foelsch, who has been with multiple NFL teams but has yet to appear in a regular-season game. Victor, known for his length and press man coverage skills, had been hosted for a tryout by the Steelers earlier in the year and was brought in to provide depth following multiple injuries among the team's cornerbacks, including Joey Porter Jr., Jalen Ramsey, and Darius Slay. Additionally, the Steelers waived tight end D.J. Thomas-Jones as part of the roster moves. These changes underscore the team's efforts to bolster their roster depth amid injury concerns at key positions.
