The Pittsburgh Steelers made a surprising roster move Friday, the team announced, placing veteran linebacker Markus Golden on the reserve/retired list. He had just signed a one-year deal to return to the Steelers on August 1.

Golden spent the 2023 season with the Steelers on a one-year contract, totaling four sacks, 20 combined tackles (6 TFL) and 10 QB hits over 16 games — a solid FA addition from Khan in Golden’s age-32 season.

Markus Golden had five sacks and 16 total pressures last season... in just 116 pass-rushing reps.
