The Steelers released Samuels from their practice squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Steelers activated Anthony McFarland off injured reserve Wednesday, which may have made Samuels expendable. The 2018 fifth-round pick appeared in 14 games for Pittsburgh last year, but he tallied just 18 touches for 74 yards. The 25-year-old running back will likely look to latch onto another practice squad for the rest of the 2021 campaign.
