Eight days after the team announced that they had released him as part of a trio of veterans cut one day after the Super Bowl, former Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive tackle Chukwuma Okorafor was officially released Tuesday and was on the NFL transaction sheet with the move, according to NFL Insider Aaron Wilson.
Okorafor was reportedly released by the Steelers on Feb. 12 alongside quarterback Mitch Trubisky and punter Pressley Harvin III. However, Okorafor’s release was never made official to the NFL as part of the transaction sheet, creating some question as to what was going on with the situation, whether the Steelers were trying to work out a trade or something else.
