Steelers Waive RB Trey Sermon to Make Room for QB Will Howard

The Pittsburgh Steelers have waived running back Trey Sermon to activate quarterback Will Howard from injured reserve on Wednesday. Sermon had played in four games this season, with most of his snaps coming on special teams. Howard, a sixth-round pick, was placed on injured reserve after fracturing his hand in training camp. The Steelers also officially signed cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. to their practice squad, releasing defensive back Darrick Forrest.
