Roster moves continue to trickle in for the Pittsburgh Steelers as they get closer and closer to the 53-man threshold by Tuesday’s 4 p.m. deadline. Third-year running back Anthony McFarland Jr. and fourth-year cornerback Justin Layne the latest roster cut, according to a report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
McFarland Jr., drafted in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, never quite got going in the NFL, touching the football just 39 times as a rookie and four times as a second-year player while dealing with a knee injury and COVID issues.
