Steelers release linebacker Elandon Roberts

Steelers release Elandon Roberts

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released linebacker Elandon Roberts, per @AdamSchefter. Roberts had been a former starter at the position for Pittsburgh.

Fantasy impact

Roberts was not a fantasy-relevant player, so this move does not affect any active roster decisions. At the linebacker position, the Steelers depth chart now has one fewer body, but nothing here changes a start or sit call or triggers a waiver wire move.
