The Pittsburgh Steelers made a somewhat surprising decision on Monday night by releasing veteran defensive back Josiah Scott . Additionally, they announced the release of wide receiver Marquez Callaway. Some Steelers fans speculated that these moves might be paving the way for an exciting trade or acquisition.

The Steelers announced they’ve signed TE Matt Sokol and DB Kyler McMichael and released WR Marquez Callaway and DB Josiah Scott.

The Scott release continues to pave the way for undrafted rookie Beanie Bishop in the slot.

Sokol went undrafted in 2019 and has been part of several teams since then, often moving between practice squads and being released. He's made seven stops in his career so far, a journey marked by perseverance. Sokol has had just one NFL start, which came in 2023 with the New England Patriots.

Steelers' Kyler McMichael Hasn't Played In A NFL Game

McMichael also went undrafted, in the 2022 NFL Draft, and has yet to make an impact in an NFL game. He was last with the Arizona Cardinals, but his potential remains uncertain as fans haven't had the chance to see him in action. Both players will be eager to make an impression during training camp.
