The Pittsburgh Steelers waived tight end Christian Scotland-Williamson with a non-football injury designation on Monday and wasted no time filling his roster spot.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Steelers are signing free agent tight end Dax Raymond to take Scotland-Williamson’s place on the 90-man roster.

Raymond, who signed originally with the Chicago Bears as an undrafted free agent in 2019 out of Utah State, sustained a head injury in last season’s preseason finale against the Tennessee Titans and was placed on injured reserve.
