The team also announced releasing offensive tackle\u00a0Dylan Cook\u00a0on October 31.<\/p>\n<p>Cook began the 2024 season on injured reserve. He was set to officially return from IR after the team\u2019s Week 9 bye week.<\/p>\n<p>The Steelers opened his 21-day window to return on October 17.<\/p>\n<p>Ogundeji has appeared\u00a0in three games for the Steelers this season. In those contests, he\u2019s played 25 defensive snaps and 6 snaps on special teams.<\/p>\n<p>Cook spent the 2023 season on Pittsburgh\u2019s active roster but never appeared in a game.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-youtube-com\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Play\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mxi8T90Tdfk?autoplay=1\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Steelers Bring Back Edge Rusher Ade Ogundeji<\/h2>\n<p>Pittsburgh\u2019s decision to re-sign Ogundeji to the practice squad was expected.\u00a0The team added\u00a0Ogundeji to its active roster from the practice squad, released him and then re-signed him to the practice squad twice in October.<\/p>\n<p>On October 30,\u00a0the Steelers released\u00a0Ogundeji likely to help make space for cornerback\u00a0Cameron Sutton. The veteran is set to return from an 8-game suspension in Week 10.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly,\u00a0the official Steelers Depot X (formerly Twitter) account reported\u00a0that \u201cthe Commissioner has granted a roster exemption\u201d for\u00a0Sutton as he works back into football shape. This means the Steelers don\u2019t have to count Sutton as one of their 53 players on their active roster until Monday, November 4.<\/p>\n<p>So, with the release of Ogundeji from the active roster, the Steelers have made space for not only Sutton, but possibly a newly acquired player through a trade. If the Steelers did land a player from a trade this weekend, they would then need to release another player to make room for Sutton on November 4.<\/p>\n<p>Ogundeji began his NFL career as a fifth-round pick for the\u00a0Atlanta Falcons.\u00a0He has 3 sacks and 8 tackles for loss in 35 career NFL games.<\/p>\n<p>He is one of four linebackers on the Steelers practice squad entering Week 9. The other three are\u00a0Devin Harper,\u00a0Eku Leota\u00a0and\u00a0Craig Young.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-youtube-com\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Play\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7NScu57RCp8?autoplay=1\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Steelers Release Dylan Cook<\/h2>\n<p>When the Steelers released Ogundeji on October 30, another possibility for that roster spot was Cook.<\/p>\n<p>The Steelers departing with Cook, though, is an obvious indication that they didn\u2019t want to use the open roster spot on extra offensive line depth. That decision came just one day after the Steelers activated Cook from injured reserve.<\/p>\n<p>Steelers Depot\u2019s Matthew Marczi wrote\u00a0that \u201cmany fans are finding this move a head scratcher.\u201d But he tried to explain why the team may have moved on from Cook.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConsidering the Steelers\u2019 lack of quality depth, it is fair to question why they waived Dylan Cook,\u201d\u00a0he wrote. \u201cPresumably, they feel comfortable with the two Andersons as their backup tackle options, whether fans agree or not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The two Andersons he is referring to are\u00a0Calvin Anderson\u00a0and\u00a0Spencer Anderson, who are Pittsburgh\u2019s current backup tackles on the active roster. The Steelers also have offensive lineman\u00a0John Leglue\u00a0on their practice squad. Leglue has a little NFL experience playing left tackle.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s possible the Steelers will bring back Cook on their practice squad. To do that, he will have to clear waivers.<\/p>\n<p>Cook started his NFL career as an undrafted free agent for the\u00a0Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2022. He joined the Steelers in May 2023.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-youtube-com\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Play\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UiDS1h6AMVo?autoplay=1\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyHead coach Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers released Dylan Cook and signed linebacker Ade Ogundeji to the practice squad on October 31.
