The Pittsburgh Steelers waived five players as injured on Saturday and on Sunday all five cleared waivers and reverted to the team’s Reserve/Injured list.
Now on the Steelers Reserve/Injured list as of Sunday are wide receiver Marcus Tucker, wide receiver Damoun Patterson, offensive lineman Joseph Cheek, inside linebacker Keith Kelsey, and safety Malik Golden. Of those five players, Golden is the most seriously injured as he will likely need surgery to repair a knee injury he suffered during the Steelers preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers this past Thursday night.
