The Pittsburgh Steelers waived inside linebacker Ulysees Gilbert III as injured on Wednesday and on Thursday he cleared waivers and reverted to the team’s Reserve/Injured list.
Gilbert, who suffered an ankle injury last weekend, was waived as injured on Wednesday so the team could make room for outside linebacker Hamilcar Rashed Jr., who was claimed off waivers from the New York Jets.
Gilbert was originally selected by the Steelers in the sixth round (207th overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft out Akron. He has missed a lot of time in his first three NFL seasons and mostly because of a back injury.
