Pittsburgh Steelers Waive Rookie Daylan Carnell Before Training Camp

The Pittsburgh Steelers have made roster changes ahead of NFL training camp, waiving undrafted rookie linebacker Daylan Carnell and punter Aidan Laros. The team announced these moves on Monday, creating an open spot for another addition. Carnell, who was signed in May as part of the Steelers' six undrafted free agents following the 2026 NFL Draft, had a college career at Missouri where he played 56 games and recorded impressive stats. However, with established linebackers like Patrick Queen and Cole Holcomb returning, Carnell faced tough competition for a roster spot. Laros, who was signed just a week prior, also did not last long with the team. The Steelers have now turned their attention to adding local talent, signing wide receiver Levi Wentz, a Pittsburgh native who previously played at Old Dominion and Kansas. Wentz will join a crowded receiver group that already includes notable players like DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. As the Steelers prepare for training camp, these roster moves reflect their strategy to enhance team depth and performance.
