The Pittsburgh Steelers officially announced two roster moves Wednesday ahead of Week 7, including the signing of rookie cornerback Darius Rush to the active roster from the Chiefs practice squad. In a corresponding move, the Steelers released veteran CB Desmond King II. King’s release is not unexpected, as reports surfaced Tuesday that the team was looking to trade or release him following his signing less than two months ago.
Rush was originally selected by the Indianapolis Colts with the No. 138 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, having surprised many when they chose to release him at the NFL’s roster cut deadline.
