Taylor had just signed with the team earlier this month but is now headed to waivers. The 23-year-old could be a candidate to land on Carolina's practice squad should he go unclaimed on waivers.

Steelers' Roc Taylor: Logs 38 yards in victory
Rotowire
Taylor secured two of three targets for 38 yards during Saturday's 31-25 preseason win over the Jaguars.
Taylor signed with the Steelers as an undrafted free agent in April following a productive collegiate career at Memphis. He isn't guaranteed to make Pittsburgh's 53-man roster in 2025, but he's impressed through his size and physicality early in training camp. The 22-year-old saw some looks in the third quarter of Saturday's matchup, and it's possible that he continues to earn some work ahead of the regular season. While Taylor's role is far from guaranteed, the undrafted rookie could make a case for some regular-season playing time if he continues to impress in camp, as the Steelers don't yet have many receivers locked into roles behind DK Metcalf heading into 2025.
