Kalon Barnes: Let go by Pittsburgh

The Steelers waived/injured Barnes (undisclosed) on Monday.

Barnes played 42 snaps (33 on defense, nine on special teams) in Friday's 20-12 preseason loss to the Texans, finishing the contest with three tackles and one pass defended. It's unclear when Barnes sustained the injury, but he will revert to the Steelers' injured reserve should he clear waivers. If that were to happen, the 2022 seventh-rounder would be forced to sit out for the entire 2024 season unless an injury settlement is reached with Pittsburgh.
