In a move which was only a matter of time until it was announced, the Steelers are reportedly releasing fullback Roosevelt Nix according to ESPN’s Jordan Schultz.
It was an injury-plagued season for Nix in 2019 as he only appeared in three games. Elected the Steelers’ special teams captain, Nix just couldn’t stay healthy in order to contribute this past season. In his three games, Nix only played 34 offensive snaps and 42 special team snaps. He had two reception for four yards.
Joining the Steelers in 2015, Nix carved out a role for himself as both a fullback and special teams ace.
