The Steelers waived Crowder on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Crowder was a seventh-round pick by the Giants in 2020 and appeared in 41 contests before being waived in December. He returned to New York via a practice-squad deal and was subsequently signed to the Steelers' 53-man roster, though he never appeared in a game for Pittsburgh. Crowder will look to join his third team in less than a calendar year and should draw some interest around the league considering he's recorded 232 tackles in three seasons.

Crowder was signed to the Steelers' 53-man roster from the Giants' practice squad Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Crowder's addition to the team's linebacker corps comes as they placed Marcus Allen (biceps) on injured reserve Tuesday. He'll likely provide depth at the position, while also chipping in on special teams.

The Giants waived Crowder on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Crowder, who opened the season as one of New York's defensive starters, has since been let go as a result of Tuesday's transaction. Since being drafted by the Giants in 2020, the 235-pound linebacker has collected 232 tackles, two sacks, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and eight passes defensed across 41 games played. He'll now search elsewhere for an opportunity to continue his NFL journey.

Crowder will operate as a backup during Sunday's matchup against Houston, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Micah McFadden is expected to replace Crowder as the starter for Week 10, but it remains to be seen if it's a permanent move. Crowder recorded 37 tackles and a sack across the first seven games of the season, but he played a season-low 21 defensive snaps in Week 8 and appears to have been supplanted during the Giants' Week 9 bye.

Crowder tallied 11 tackles (seven solo), including one sack, and forced a fumble against Chicago in Sunday's 20-12 victory.

EDGE Analysis

New York's third win of the season came largely on the back of its defense, and Crowder led the charge with a team-high 11 tackles. He got to opposing quarterback Justin Fields in the second quarter for his first sack of the campaign and was credited with a forced fumble on the final play of the contest, which consisted of numerous Bears laterals. Crowder's 11 tackles were a high mark so far this season, though he hasn't posted consistent enough totals thus far to be a reliable fantasy asset.

Crowder collected seven tackles (four solo) in a 21-20 win against Tennessee on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

With Blake Martinez released by New York just before the start of the season, Crowder's role as the team's leading linebacker is secure. The Georgia product paced New York with 130 stops last season and carried that over to the 2022 opener, leading the squad with seven tackles. Crowder isn't without flaws, but he rarely leaves the field and has been able to parlay his role into IDP consideration on the strength of his tackle totals.

With Blake Martinez out for the season in Week 3, Crowder became the team's leading tackle with 130 and also picked off two passes.

EDGE Analysis

Crowder also had the ninth most snaps among all defensive players, so he was mostly a compiler, but he should have a significant role against next year, even with Martinez set to return.

Crowder posted 12 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 21-6 loss to the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

Crowder was on the field for every defensive snap once again Sunday and racked up a season-high 12 tackles in the loss. The linebacker now has a team-high 108 tackles (55 solo) along with an interception, a forced fumble and five pass defenses this year.

Crowder had nine tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

Crowder played all 69 defensive snaps and led New York's defense in tackles. He's played every defensive snap in each of the past 10 games and has averaged 8.1 stops per contest to go along with one interception and one forced fumble.

Crowder (thigh) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Crowder popped up on the injury report late in the week, but he'll still be ready to suit up. He's tallied at least eight tackles in each of his last four games.
