The Pittsburgh Steelers have waived DE DeMarvin Leal, the team announced on X.
He was already cut by the Steelers once this year at roster cutdowns in August, but quickly circled back to the practice squad. He was activated after some injuries in the DL room on Sept. 17.
Leal was drafted in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, but never lived up to expectations. He dealt with a season-ending injury in 2024, and has barely been clinging onto his roster spot this year. He was active against the Indianapolis Colts, but had been inactive for the prior three weeks.
In all, Leal has only gotten a helmet in three games this season with just 17 defensive snaps and nine on special teams.
