Steelers’ outside linebacker Anthony Chickillo has been removed from the Reserve/Commissioner Exempt List and is now back on the Steelers-53 man roster. To make room for Chickillo, the Steelers have released OLB Jayrone Elliott.
Chickillo was placed on the commissioners exempt list on Tuesday, October 22 following his arrest on October 20 outside of Uniontown, Pennsylvania. While on the list, Chickillo did receive a salary but did not count towards the Steelers’ 53-man roster. On Wednesday, charges against Chickillo were both withdrawn by the Fayette County district attorney, citing criminal prosecution was not warranted for the situation.
