The Pittsburgh Steelers recently released CB Duke Dawson from the team’s Reserve/Injured list with an injury settlement and thanks to a Saturday morning NFLPA update, we now know the amount of that.
According the latest NFLPA salary cap page update, Dawson was issued an injury settlement in the amount of $27,778. That will now count against the Steelers’ 2023 salary cap just like dead money would.
As a vested veteran, Dawson was first placed directly on the Steelers’ Reserve/Injured list on August 14 with a split salary amount of $500,000. The injury settlement is based off of that amount and specifically, it was one week worth of that.
