Dan Chisena: Let go by Pittsburgh
The Steelers waived Chisena on Saturday, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
Chisena was let go as part of the Steelers' initial round of roster cuts heading into the regular season, likely indicating that he could be a longshot to receive a spot on the team's practice squad as well. The 26-year-old appeared in 27 games over his first three seasons with the Vikings, though he has yet to record a reception in the NFL.

Steelers' Dan Chisena: Lands future deal
The Steelers signed Chisena to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Chisena signed a practice-squad deal with the Vikings after failing to make the team's initial 53-man roster and saw two elevations during the 2022 campaign, though 24 of his 26 snaps during those contests came on special teams. Minnesota didn't sign him to a reserve/future contract after being eliminated from the playoffs, making the third-year wideout a free agent. With his new deal, he'll be able to join the Steelers' organization and compete for a roster spot during the offseason.

Vikings' Dan Chisena: Lands on COVID-19 list
Chisena was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
Chisena will need to produce back-to-back negative tests at least 24 hours apart or complete a 10-day quarantine before he is able to return to team facilities. The wideout hasn't seen more than five offensive snaps in a game this season, so his potential absence shouldn't impact the Vikings' offensive gameplan.
