Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Cameron McCutcheon has been waived from IR, per the NFL’s transactions log. McCutcheon suffered a hamstring injury in the team’s preseason opener, spoiling an encouraging summer that had him tracking for a practice squad spot.
Signed by the team to a Reserve/Futures contract in January, McCutcheon fit the bill as a big and long corner the Steelers like having on the roster. Standing at 6-1, 204 pounds with 33-inch arms, he received consistent reps throughout training camp. He began working third-team but moved up the ranks when injuries struck. His play was steady and consistent, though it rarely produced any highlight reel moments.
