Pittsburgh Steelers waive nose tackle from injured reserve
The Pittsburgh Steelers have waived nose tackle Breiden Fehoko from injured reserve with an injury settlement after they placed him on injured reserve with a shoulder injury. If Fehoko had not been removed from injured reserve, he would have been out for the season.
Now, Fehoko will become a free agent, and once he recovers from his shoulder injury, he will be free to sign anywhere. He must wait the duration of his injury settlement and three more weeks until he could return to the Steelers. That would be well into the regular season, but it is always an option.
Fehoko, who the team signed as depth at nose tackle, was with the Steelers for all of 2023 on the team’s practice squad. He was called up for one game but did not log a snap. Pittsburgh re-signed him in March, and he hoped to push for a roster spot.
However, now the Steelers will move forward without Fehoko around. They signed Marquiss Spencer to help replace him on the defensive line, but with injuries along the defensive line, multiple players have stepped up into bigger roles, such as DeMarvin Leal.
Fehoko came into the NFL in 2020 as an undrafted free agent out of LSU, and he made his first team with the Los Angeles Chargers. After multiple seasons with the Chargers as a run-plugging nose tackle, Fehoko signed with the Steelers in 2023.

Buffalo Bills sign ex-Pittsburgh Steelers WR before preseason game
Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Deon Cain will return to Pittsburgh on Thursday, but not with the Steelers. Cain signed with the Buffalo Bills amid a myriad of moves that the team made to their roster earlier this week. That included placing Chase Claypool on injured reserve.
Cain has played for the Birmingham Stallions of the UFL for the last few years as he tries to break his way back into the NFL. The Bills will have a joint practice with the Steelers on Thursday at Acrisure Stadium before their preseason game on Saturday.
Cain played for the Steelers in 2019, being elevated to the active roster after multiple injuries to the wide receiver room. He has also spent time with the Indianapolis Colts and Philadelphia Eagles. He has remained one of the UFL’s more consistent wideouts over the last few seasons, dating back to when it was the USFL.
The Steelers are excited to work with the Bills and hope to gain a lot from it. Mike Tomlin even called the Bills.’ the ‘ideal dance partner’.
“I just expect it to be good work. I was on the phone last night with ‘McDee’ [Sean McDermott]. He and I go way back. He’s a great dance partner from that perspective. I know his values. Excited about good, clean working preparation for our season,” Tomlin said.
Cain will have a chance to show what he can against the Steelers in that practice. At the very least, Cain is hoping to stick on an NFL practice squad after years of cycling through training camp invites.
