The Steelers signed Sermon to their practice squad Wednesday. The Ohio State product was dropped from the Steelers' practice squad in early December, but it now appears the team had a change of heart. Sermon has appeared in four games for Pittsburgh this season, recording 51 kick-return yards across 46 special-teams snaps.

The Steelers cut Sermon from their practice squad Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports. In a corresponding transaction, Pittsburgh signed veteran offensive tackle David Sharpe to its practice squad. Sermon could be a candidate to rejoin the organization at some point down the line, but with the Steelers healthy at running back at this point, he'd be unlikely to be brought up for action on offense anyway.

The Steelers waived Sermon on Wednesday. Sermon was signed off the Steelers' practice squad to the active roster Saturday, but the fifth-year running back has been let go by Pittsburgh just four days later. He should garner interest on the waiver wire from teams looking for another contributor on special teams who can provide depth out of the backfield.

Sermon was released by the Steelers on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official website reports. Sermon signed with the Steelers on May 11, and despite a relatively active preseason, the 26-year-old running back was unable to secure a spot on Pittsburgh's 53-man roster behind Jaylen Warren and rookie Kaleb Johnson. The Ohio State product will now look to latch on with another team for the 2025 season.

The Steelers are signing Sermon to a one-year contract, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports. Sermon was a third-round draft pick by the 49ers in 2021, but he's yet to make a major impact at the NFL level. The 26-year-old spent the past two seasons with Indianapolis, and he logged a career-high 236 offensive snaps over 17 regular-season games last year, though he averaged just 2.8 yards on 56 carries while scoring a career-high two rushing touchdowns. Sermon also logged 99 yards on 16 catches and contributed on special teams late in the campaign. With Najee Harris now with the Chargers, Pittsburgh has rebuilt its running back room behind returning starter Jaylen Warren, adding both Sermon and Kenneth Gainwell in free agency along with third-round draft choice Kaleb Johnson.
