The Pittsburgh Steelers announced several roster moves Tuesday, waiving outside linebacker Ade Ogundeji from the active roster and terminating running back La’Michal Perine and cornerback Thomas Graham from the practice squad.
Ogundeji, 26, was signed to the Steelers’ practice squad this fall after playing 32 games (27 starts) for the Atlanta Falcons in 2021-22. He played 16 snaps as the top reserve at outside linebacker in the 32-13 win at the Las Vegas Raiders on Oct. 13 but was released the next day, then signed to the practice squad when the Carolina Panthers signed Jacoby Windmon and was promoted to the active roster for depth at the position.
The Steelers signed Perine, a 2020 fourth-round pick of the New York Jets, last March after he was released by the Kansas City Chiefs. Graham, a 2021 sixth-round pick of the Chicago Bears, was signed to a reserve/future contract by the Steelers in January.
