Monday, the Pittsburgh Steelers waived three players previously on the team’s injured reserve list with injury settlements: WR Tarik Black, CB Kalon Barnes, and S Nate Meadors.
They’re procedural and expected moves after all three were waived/injured during training camp. Meadors happened first, suffering a hamstring injury mid-way through camp. Signed to a Reserve/Futures contract this offseason, Meadors was seeing plenty of reps as a third-team safety and had a camp interception, picking off QB Kyle Allen during a seven shots period of practice. Pushing for a practice squad spot, the injury derailed his chances. He was waived/injured on Aug.
