The Steelers waived Brooks-James on Saturday. Brooks-James was one of nine players that were let go by the Steelers on Saturday as they try to get down to the mandatory 53-man roster by Tuesday. After being signed Aug. 3, the 26-year-old made the most of his opportunities during training camp. He led the Steelers with nine carries for 51 yards in their second preseason game, but he ultimately couldn't climb Kalen Ballage and Jaylen Samuels on the depth chart.

Brooks-James recorded nine carries for 51 yards while hauling in one of his two targets for one yard in Thursday's 24-16 preseason win over the Eagles. Brooks-James didn't take the field in last week's Hall of Fame Game since he didn't sign with the team until Aug. 3, but he saw increased looks out of the backfield with Kalen Ballage (lower body) and Benny Snell (undisclosed) unavailable. He led the team with 51 rushing yards and 5.7 yards per carry, but he's likely still behind Ballage, Snell, Trey Edmunds and Anthony McFarland on the depth chart since all of them are more proven as depth players.

Brooks-James signed a contract with the Steelers on Tuesday. Brooks-James spent time in Pittsburgh back in 2019, when he suited up for three games with the team and took eight carries for seven yards. This time around, Brooks-James will be facing steep competition for depth opportunities. Trey Edmunds, Kalen Ballage, Jaylen Samuels and Anthony McFarland are all more proven reserve players.

The Falcons waived Brooks-James on Monday, Scott Blair of the team's official site reports. Brooks-James was cut to make room for new signings Emmanuel Ellerbee and Jason Spriggs on the 90-man roster. The running back only suited up for a sole contest in Atlanta last season, in which he gained four yards on three carries.

The Falcons signed Brooks-James to a reserve/future contract Monday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports. Brooks-James suited up in one game for the Falcons in 2020, recording four yards on three carries. There's plenty of uncertainty regarding the Falcons' backfield heading into the 2021 season, but Brooks-James likely isn't in the mix. He'll aim to secure a special-teams role.
