DeMarvin Leal: Breaking News

Let go by Pittsburgh

Leal was waived by the Steelers on Thursday. Leal appeared in three games with the Steelers after being signed to the active roster Sept. 17, recording two total tackles (one solo) while playing 17 snaps on defense and nine with the special-teams unit. The defensive lineman will now be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, he'll likely stick around with the practice squad in Pittsburgh.

Signed off practice squad

The Steelers signed Leal from their practice squad Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports. The 2022 third-round pick from Texas A&M has appeared in 28 regular-season games for the Steelers over his NFL career, recording 33 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and four passes defended. Now back with the team's active roster, Leal is expected to play a depth role on Pittsburgh's defensive line.

Back at full health

Leal (neck) told reporters Wednesday that he feels "100 percent," Aaron Becker of SteelersNow.com reports. The 24-year-old missed Pittsburgh's final 12 regular-season games in 2024 due to a neck injury, but he now appears to be past the issue. Leal played just 76 total snaps (50 defensive and 26 on special-teams) over five games in 2024, recording four total tackles. He's expected to compete for a depth role on the Steelers' defensive line throughout the summer.
