The Pittsburgh Steelers continued their roster reduction process Saturday, releasing outside linebacker Jamin Davis and wide receiver Levi Wentz as the team approaches the mandatory 53-player roster deadline. These moves came a day after the franchise announced its initial wave of 11 cuts on Friday evening.
Davis, who was selected in the first round by the Washington Commanders in a previous draft, joined Pittsburgh as a reserve outside linebacker but could not secure a roster spot amid intense competition at the position. The Steelers have committed to keeping T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, Nick Herbig, and Jack Sawyer as their primary edge rushers, leaving insufficient depth chart space for Davis.
Wentz’s release reflects a similarly crowded receiver room in Pittsburgh. The team’s offensive weapons include established targets such as DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr., along with depth contributors Germie Bernard, Roman Wilson, Ben Skownorek, and Kaden Wetjen on the depth chart.
Teams must finalize their rosters by Sunday’s 6 p.m. deadline. The Steelers have now made significant progress toward their required player count following the conclusion of their preseason schedule.
