Titans Claim Former Steelers OLB Derrek Tuszka Off Waivers On Friday

The Pittsburgh Steelers waived outside linebacker Derrek Tuszka on Thursday and on Friday he was claimed off waivers by the Tennessee Titans, according to the NFL transaction sheet.

While Tuszka made the Steelers’ initial 53-man roster on Tuesday, the former undrafted free agent out of North Dakota State was waived on Thursday to make room for outside linebacker Jamir Jones, who had been claimed off waivers from the Jacksonville Jaguars.

After spending the majority of his rookie 2020 season serving as a special teamer for the Denver Broncos, Tuszka failed to survive the team’s final roster cut ahead of the 2021 season.
