Steelers Release QB Trace McSorley From Practice Squad

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released QB Trace McSorley from their practice squad, as announced by the team’s Twitter account Tuesday afternoon. He was signed to the Steelers’ practice squad on Dec. 4th, the day after QB Kenny Pickett suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 13. He was added as an extra option as the Steelers only had two healthy options on the roster at the time. Now that Pickett is fully back, McSorley is no longer necessary. Though, if the Steelers like him the season will soon be over and he could be signed to a futures contract later on.
