The Steelers have released DeCastro.

EDGE Analysis

At first glance, the move was a surprising one, but Mike Garafolo of NFL Network relays that the veteran guard has been dealing with ankle issues and is evaluating his playing future. Meanwhile, with DeCastro no longer in the team's O-line mix, the Steelers have reportedly had talks with free agent Trai Turner.

EDGE Analysis

The five-time Pro Bowler has only been able to suit up twice for Pittsburgh thus far in 2020, but he is trending towards a Week 7 appearance after improving from limited to full practice participation between Wednesday and Thursday. Despite DeCastro's absence for much of the season thus far, Pittsburgh is still tied for eighth best in the league with just 1.6 sacks allowed per game. He has a chance to suit up Sunday in a matchup of AFC unbeatens, as Tennessee plays host to the Steelers.
