ROSTER MOVE: Steelers Bring Back Rookie Just 4 Days After Cutting Him
Two preseason games have already taken a toll on Pittsburgh’s roster. Between training camp setbacks and in-game injuries, the Steelers have been forced to reevaluate their depth far earlier than they anticipated this August.
The list of absences keeps growing. From nagging hamstring strains to concussions and soft-tissue setbacks, multiple position groups are now stretched thin. As preseason intensity climbs, Pittsburgh’s coaches faced a difficult reality: reinforcements were needed immediately.
That urgency led the front office to circle back on a surprising decision. Just days after moving on, the team has decided to give rookie defensive back Sebastian Castro another chance to fight for a roster spot.
Castro was waived only four days ago, reportedly due to “cultural fit” concerns within the locker room. But the combination of mounting injuries and his competitive training camp flashes convinced Pittsburgh to reconsider, bringing him back into the fold.
“When injuries pile up and depth gets tested, every player willing to battle deserves another look. Sebastian has shown grit, and that’s something you never overlook in Pittsburgh,” head coach Mike Tomlin said.
The timing could not be more critical. The Steelers have three more preseason matchups to sort out roster roles, and special teams units have been hit especially hard by injuries. Castro’s versatility could become an unexpected lifeline in August.
For the rookie, this return offers redemption. After being cut so quickly, the opportunity to step back into the black and gold locker room signals both unfinished business and a renewed belief from the coaching staff.
What seemed like a closed door last week now opens again. As Pittsburgh fights through adversity, Sebastian Castro’s story may turn into one of resilience — and possibly a crucial turning point in the Steelers’ preseason.
