Summary

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released safety Darnell Savage and signed safety Rayshawn Jenkins, effective August 2, 2026. Savage, a former first-round pick in 2019, struggled to secure a consistent role, starting only once in 2025 after being with three teams. Jenkins, who played for the Cleveland Browns last season, now aims to secure a spot on the 53-man roster as preseason approaches. The Steelers formerly worked out Jenkins and Jordan Whitehead during the early days of training camp.
