The Pittsburgh Steelers waived CB Darius Rush on Tuesday, shortly after signing C.J. Henderson to the practice squad. Rush had been a healthy scratch for the past two games, particularly notable last week. They lost primary backup CB Cory Trice Jr. a week earlier for at least four weeks, yet Rush didn’t dress.
Perhaps that means they feel good about having James Pierre back, whom they re-signed ahead of Week 3. But perhaps it’s also a good sign for Henderson, the former first-round pick, to graduate to the 53-man roster. The Steelers currently have two open roster spots after placing RG James Daniels on the Reserve/Injured List.
