DeMarvin Leal: Let go by Pittsburgh
Leal was waived by the Steelers on Thursday.
Leal appeared in three games with the Steelers after being signed to the active roster Sept. 17, recording two total tackles (one solo) while playing 17 snaps on defense and nine with the special-teams unit. The defensive lineman will now be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, he'll likely stick around with the practice squad in Pittsburgh.

Steelers' DeMarvin Leal: Back at full health
Leal (neck) told reporters Wednesday that he feels "100 percent," Aaron Becker of SteelersNow.com reports.
The 24-year-old missed Pittsburgh's final 12 regular-season games in 2024 due to a neck injury, but he now appears to be past the issue. Leal played just 76 total snaps (50 defensive and 26 on special teams) over five games in 2024, recording four total tackles. He's expected to compete for a depth role on the Steelers' defensive line throughout the summer.

Steelers' DeMarvin Leal: Lands on IR
Leal (neck) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Teresa Varley of Pittsburgh's official site reports.
Leal suffered a neck stinger against Dallas in Week 5, and the issue has been deemed serious enough for the defensive lineman to move to IR. As a result, he'll miss at least the Steelers' next four contests, with a Nov. 17 matchup versus Baltimore being his earliest possible return date. Montravius Adams could see more defensive snaps while Leal is sidelined.
