Las Vegas Raiders

• Waived: CB Stanford Samuels III

Pittsburgh Steelers

• Placed on reserve/retired list: DT Daniel Archibong

Samuels, a 2020 UDFA, spent much of his rookie campaign in the Packers organization. He ended up getting into a pair of games for Green Bay, seeing most of his time on special teams. He had a brief stint on the Bears practice squad in 2021 before joining the Raiders this offseason.

Archibong joined the Bears as an undrafted free agent last offseason. The Temple product eventually made his way to the Steelers organization, and he ended up collecting a pair of tackles in two games. He saw time on 13 defensive snaps and six special teams snaps during the 2021 campaign.

Surgery has emerged as a possibility; that would most likely put an end to the tight end’s season. Ebron had missed two games earlier in the season with a hamstring injury but had returned to normal snap counts in the past two weeks. Ebron’s two-year Pittsburgh contract expires at season’s end.

Rookie Pat Freiermuth has become the primary tight end for Pittsburgh this year, and the second-round pick will only see his usage increase as a result of Ebron’s absence. Ebron’s production has been limited in his second Steelers season; he has pulled in just 12 receptions for 84 yards and one touchdown. The Steelers also have backups Zach Gentry and Kevin Rader — the latter promoted from the practice squad ahead of Week 12 — to help pick up the slack.

In corresponding moves, Pittsburgh promoted guard John Leglue to the active roster and moved guard J.C. Hassenauer to the IR alongside Ebron. The team also bumped up defensive lineman Daniel Archibong and wide receiver Anthony Miller from its practice squad for week’s matchup against the Bengals.
