Mann was claimed off waivers by the Steelers on Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mann was initially waived by the Jets on Thursday as they no longer had a need for him following the signing of Thomas Morstead. The 25-year-old will now head to Pittsburgh where he should have the opportunity to compete with Pressley Harvin for the starting job.

The Jets waived Mann on Thursday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
EDGE Analysis
Selected in the sixth round of the 2020 Draft, Mann was the Jets' punter for the previous three seasons. He led the NFL in total punts and punt yards as a rookie but was 22nd in net average last year. The Jets have since signed veteran Thomas Morstead to be their new punter.

Mann was credited with an incomplete pass in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Bears. He also punted twice for a total of 118 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Mann fumbled the snap on a field-goal attempt in the second quarter, so he picked up the ball and awkwardly chucked it forward, resulting in an incomplete pass and a turnover on downs. The miscue can be chalked up to wet conditions, as the game was played in a steady rain.

Mann has been back at practice since late October, and he'll be able to suit up for Sunday's matchup against Buffalo. The 23-year-old hasn't appeared in a game since he sustained a knee injury in the season opener.

Mann (knee) was designated to return to the Jets' practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Mann sustained his knee injury in the Jets' Week 1 loss to the Panthers. With Mann nearing his return to full health, Thomas Morstead will likely get sent to the Jets' practice squad or could be released. The Jets have a three-week window to activate Mann to their active roster.

Mann will miss 4-to-6 weeks after suffering a knee injury during Sunday's season opener, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Mann (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers, according to Steve Reed of the Associated Press.
EDGE Analysis
Mann was spotted wearing a brace on his left leg, so this is not a promising look for the punter.
