The Pittsburgh Steelers are waiving iOL Ryan McCollum, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 in Houston. McCollum was competing for the Steelers backup center job, but he didn’t stand out during training camp or the preseason and will be waived.

He spent most of 2022 on Pittsburgh’s practice squad, and there’s a chance he will circle back after the team assesses where they’re at after final cuts are made. With Nate Herbig looking to have the inside track on the backup center and Kendrick Green having more experience in Pittsburgh’s system, McCollum would’ve had to really show something this offseason/preseason but wasn’t able to do so.
