Cowboys Claim Ex-Steelers OL Nick Broeker Off Waivers

The Dallas Cowboys have claimed former Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive lineman Nick Broeker off waivers, per the NFL’s transactions wire. Broeker was released by the Steelers yesterday to make room for new OL Andrus Peat.

Broeker had a difficult camp and struggled with his snaps and consistent reps. Even with Pittsburgh suffering multiple offensive line injuries that left the team thin, Broeker largely ran as the team’s fourth-string center, fighting for playing time behind Zach Frazier, Ryan McCollum, and Max Scharping. He looked overwhelmed in the reps he did receive, struggling to handle power rushes.

Though Pittsburgh found Broeker expendable, McCollum failed to finish Thursday’s practice and has battled injuries throughout camp.
