Jack was released by the Steelers on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
This was a cap-saving move for Pittsburgh, as cutting Jack clears $8 million in cap space while incurring a $3.25 million hit in dead money. The 27-year-old linebacker should get plenty of interest in free agency, as Jack topped 100 tackles for a third consecutive season in 2022.

Steelers' Myles Jack: Tops 100 tackles once again
Rotowire
Jack recorded 104 tackles (61 solo) and three pass defenses over 15 games during the 2022 season.
Jack was limited by a groin injury over the final few weeks of the season and appeared in just 15 games this year, but he still managed to top 100 tackles for the fourth time in the last five seasons. The 27-year-old has been incredibly consistent despite playing no more than 15 games in any of the last four seasons, and he'll enter the final year of his two-year, $16 million contract with the Steelers next season.

Steelers' Myles Jack: Sitting out practice with injury
Rotowire
Jack (groin) was listed as a non-participant on the Steelers' injury report Thursday.
Jack aggravated a lingering groin injury in Sunday's win over the Ravens, causing him to be ruled out in the third quarter. While he has now failed to suit up for the first two practices during Week 18 prep, the 27-year-old said he was able to do some sprints and change-of-direction exercises after Thursday's sessions. Jack will now have one more opportunity to improve his status before Friday's final injury report, which should provide the clearest outlook for availability heading into this Sunday's regular-season finale versus Cleveland.

Steelers' Myles Jack: Ruled out of Sunday's game
Rotowire
Jack won't return to Sunday's game in Baltimore due to a groin injury.
Jack didn't suit up Week 15 at Carolina because of a groin issue, which limited him to just 29 percent of the defensive snaps Week 16 against the Raiders. It also impacted his practice reps during Week 17 prep, but he attempted to play through it before being ruled out in the third quarter Sunday. Jack's status thus will be worth watching as the Steelers prepare for their regular-season finale versus the Browns.

Steelers' Myles Jack: Suits up Sunday
Rotowire
Jack (groin) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Ravens, Teresa Varley of the Steelers official site reports.
Jack, who logged limited practices both Thursday and Friday, was listed as questionable for the contest, but he'll give it a go Sunday after having been limited to just 16 snaps in last week's win over the Raiders. Overall, the inside linebacker has recorded a team-high 100 tackles in 13 games to date.

Steelers' Myles Jack: Questionable with groin issue
Rotowire
Jack (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game at Baltimore, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
Jack sat out Week 15 with a groin injury and returned to action last week, though he played only 15 defensive snaps. The 27-year-old practiced in a limited fashion Thursday and Friday, so he could be back to his usual workload this weekend.

Steelers' Myles Jack: Won't play at Carolina
Rotowire
Jack (groin) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game at the Panthers.
Jack will have to sit out in Week 15 as he recovers from a groin injury he presumably picked up in Week 14 versus Baltimore. Robert Spillane could draw a start in Jack's absence.

Steelers' Myles Jack: Upgraded to questionable
Rotowire
Jack (groin) has been upgraded to questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Panthers.
Jack logged a limited practice Friday after being a non-participant earlier in the week and subsequently earned a doubtful tag. However, he now appears to be trending in the right direction with his new questionable designation. His final status will presumably depend on how he's feeling after testing things out pregame.

Steelers' Myles Jack: Seven tackles in MNF
Rotowire
Jack recorded seven tackles (five solo) during Monday's 24-17 victory versus the Colts.
Jack tied safety Minkah Fitzpatrick for the Steelers' second-most tackles in his second game back from a knee injury. However, the 27-year-old still logged his second-lowest share of the team's defensive snaps this season despite the absence of fellow linebacker Robert Spillane, who was ruled inactive with a back injury. Instead, Devin Bush stepped up and played every down on Pittsburgh's defense, thus finishing with a team-high eight tackles. Bush still leads the team with 88 tackles over 10 games this season, so he should continue to see a prominent role even if Spillane returns against the Falcons on Sunday.

Steelers' Myles Jack: Logs DNP on Wednesday
Rotowire
Jack (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.
It's concerning to see Jack unable to participate due to a knee injury following the team's Week 9 bye, but the extent of the issue remains unclear. The veteran linebacker will have two more opportunities to practice before the Steelers need to make a decision on the linebacker's status for Sunday's matchup against the Saints.

Steelers' Myles Jack: Productive in victory
Rotowire
Jack recorded eight tackles (six solo) and a pass defense during the Steelers' 20-18 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday.
Jack has now been held to single-digit tackles in three consecutive weeks, but he still ranked second on the team in the category during Sunday's narrow victory. The 27-year-old has gotten off to a hot start this year, tallying 58 tackles (34 solo) and two pass defenses over the first six games of the season.

Steelers' Myles Jack: Leading tackler in loss
Rotowire
Jack tallied six tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Bills.
Jack finished with a team-high six combined tackles during the Steelers' all-around poor defensive showing Week 5. The seventh-year linebacker also leads Pittsburgh with 50 tackles this season, as he has played over 87 percent of the team's defensive snaps in all five games to date.

Myles Jack: Let go by Jags
Rotowire
The Jaguars are releasing Jack, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Jack had two seasons remaining on the four-year, $57 million extension he signed in August 2019. While he didn't live up to the deal, Jack did top 100 tackles in both 2020 and 2021, and he has 82 NFL starts to his name. He's also one of the youngest players from his draft class, and thus figures to sign a third NFL contract well before his 27th birthday in September. Jack should offer at least a degree of IDP value if he's put in a three-down role.

Jaguars' Myles Jack: Finishes 2021 with 108 tackles
Rotowire
Jack had five tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 26-11 win over the Colts to close the season with 108 tackles (62 solo) in 15 games.
Jack appeared set for an uptick in production following the departure of Joe Schobert in August, but he saw his production dip by 10 tackles compared to 2020 despite playing in one more contest. The 26-year-old also failed to provide much playmaking with zero sacks, passes defensed, interceptions or forced fumbles despite playing an every-down role. Jack remains under contract for the next two seasons for a total of $22.25 million, but his release would bring only a combined $7.2 million dead cap penalty between the two seasons, so it's possible Jacksonville decides to move on.

Jaguars' Myles Jack: Activated off COVID-19 list
Rotowire
Jack (illness) was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.
Jack tested positive for the virus and was sidelined for the Jaguars' Week 16 loss to the Jets. However, the 26-year-old linebacker is expected to return to action against the Patriots in Week 17 after clearing the league's health and safety protocols. Jack has totaled 97 tackles (56 solo) across 13 appearances this season.

Rotowire
Jacksonville placed Jack on the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.

Jaguars' Myles Jack: Cleared for Week 15
Rotowire
Jack (knee) was a full participant in practice Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Texans.
Jack likely had his reps limited throughout the week as a precaution after playing every defensive snap for the Jaguars last week, but he'll be good to go for this clash between the pair of 2-11 AFC South cellar-dwellers. The productive linebacker has 91 tackles in 12 games played this season, and he has reached 90 stops four times in the past five seasons.

Jaguars' Myles Jack: Misses practice
Rotowire
Jack (knee) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice.
Jack did not participate in practice Wednesday after logging all 69 of the Jaguars' defensive snaps in Week 14. The team's leading tackler has missed just one game this season with an oblique issue in Week 6 but has appeared in every game since. If he is unavailable for Sunday's game versus the Texans, backup linebackers Dakota Allen, Shaquille Quarterman and Chapelle Russell could all see increased playing time similar to when Jack was out in Week 6's contest.

Jaguars' Myles Jack: Back at practice
Rotowire
