Report: Steelers Release DT Breiden Fehoko From IR With Injury Settlement

A few days ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers placed DT Breiden Fehoko on the team’s Reserve/Injured list and likely due to some sort of shoulder issue that he sustained during the later stages of training camp practices.

However, Fehoko’s stay on the Reserve/Injured list won’t be long as the team has reportedly now reached an injury settlement with him, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC-TV in Houston.

Fehoko would have missed the entire 2024 season had he remained on the Reserve/Injured list so the Steelers releasing him with an injury settlement will allow for him to catch on with a team once healthy.
