Steelers Release Edmunds and Ward from Roster

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released both running back Jonathan Ward and safety Terrell Edmunds from their active roster ahead of their Week 10 game against the Washington Commanders. Ward, initially added to fill special teams roles during Cordarrelle Patterson's injury, is now out as Patterson returns. Terrell Edmunds, a former first-round draft pick, was let go after being signed from the Jaguars' practice squad, having played in five games this season with limited impact. The roster changes accompany the activation of linebacker Tyler Matakevich and wide receiver Ben Skowronek from injured reserve. Cam Sutton is set to take over Edmunds' role in the team's defensive schemes. The Steelers may consider bringing both players back to their practice squad if roster space permits and if they remain unsigned by other teams.
