The Pittsburgh Steelers continue their journey toward the final 53-man roster, having waived LB Tanner Muse on Monday, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports.
Muse had a solid preseason, having played the second-most snaps among Pittsburgh linebackers, totaling six tackles and one quarterback hit across 92 snaps. Other contributions came on special teams, where he ranked as the fourth-highest-graded Steeler on special teams. On the defense, where he really performed well was in coverage, having allowed just 28 receiving yards (20 coming after the catch) on 59 coverage snaps. He and Elandon Roberts were the only Steelers linebackers to not record a 0% missed forced tackle rate through three weeks.
