Nelson signed a one-year, $4 million deal with the Eagles on Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old was cut by the Steelers in late March, and he was able to latch on with a new team right before the start of training camp. Nelson started all 15 games for Pittsburgh last season and should compete for a starting spot with Avonte Maddox opposite top cornerback Darius Slay in Philadelphia.

The Steelers released Nelson on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Steelers gave Nelson permission to seek a trade last week. With no luck, the team let him go with one year left on his contract. This move clears up $8.25 million in cap space for the Steelers. Nelson started in all 15 of his appearances last season, allowing a 97.0 passer rating and seven touchdowns when targeted. There should be multiple teams interested in his services for the 2021 season.

The Steelers have given Nelson permission to seek a trade, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson is considered one of the league's more reliable cornerbacks, and the 28-year-old is coming off three consecutive years with at least 15 appearances, so he's also been durable. He'll carry an $8.25 million base salary for 2021, the final season of his three-year deal. Of course, if Nelson does get traded his next team could work out an extension or contract restructure.

Nelson (knee) returned to full participation in practice Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Having improved from limited involvement during Wednesday's practice session, the 27-year-old cornerback is seemingly in the clear for his 16th appearance of the season Sunday night versus Cleveland. Nelson has recorded two interceptions and nine pass breakups for the Steelers this season. However, the seven touchdown passes he's surrendered in coverage are more than the five combined TDs he allowed between 2018 and 2019 over 189 targets.

Nelson (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson has dealt with some knee issues this season, but he'll likely do everything in his power to be available for Sunday's wild-card round matchup with the Browns. Barring a setback in practice this week, the starting cornerback should be able to play, as he hasn't missed any game action since sitting out Week 13.

Nelson (knee) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson missed Monday's loss to Washington with a knee injury but has apparently healed up since. His full participation Wednesday puts him on pace to suit up Sunday in Buffalo.

Nelson (knee) is inactive for Monday's game versus the Football Team.

EDGE Analysis

Cameron Sutton and Mike Hilton should both see more work at cornerback against Alex Smith on Monday. Nelson didn't practice at all during the week, so his status is in question for next week's matchup against the Bills as well.

Nelson (knee) is listed as doubtful for Monday's contest against Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson has not practiced all week so it seems like all signs are pointing to the safety being unavailable for the prime-time battle. Cameron Sutton and Mike Hilton likely will see a bump in their respective snap counts if Nelson is eventually ruled inactive.

Coach Mike Tomlin said Thursday that Nelson is set to undergo an MRI on his knee, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson finished Wednesday's game playing 89 percent of the team's defensive snaps, but it appears the team wants to be cautious with the knock. The Oregon State product has been strong this campaign, racking up 31 tackles (27 solo) and two interceptions across 11 games. It will be a quick turnaround for Nelson and the Steelers, as the next game is scheduled for Monday against Washington, so it's unclear if Nelson will be ready for Week 13.

Nelson totaled four tackles (all solo) in Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Ravens.

EDGE Analysis

Signed in March, Nelson added stability to the Pittsburgh secondary and finished the 2019 season with 61 tackles, an interception and a fumble recovery in 15 games played. With two years remaining on his current contract, Nelson will return as the starting right cornerback for the Steelers in 2020.
