Pittsburgh Steelers Release Veteran Safety Rayshawn Jenkins

The Pittsburgh Steelers announced the release of veteran safety Rayshawn Jenkins on Wednesday. Signed on August 1, Jenkins appeared in all six games and made one start, recording 16 tackles across defense and special teams. His role decreased following a recent loss to Cleveland. The roster move signals the anticipated return of safety DeShon Elliott, who opened his 21-day activation window from injured reserve after missing six games with a knee injury.
