Steelers release linebacker Jamin Davis and wide receiver Levi Wentz

Summary

The Pittsburgh Steelers announced the release of linebacker Jamin Davis and wide receiver Levi Wentz as part of their roster cuts ahead of the NFL's deadline to trim down to 53 players. Davis, a former first-round pick by the Washington Commanders in 2021, struggled to secure a position in a competitive linebacker group, while Wentz, who signed with the Steelers after going undrafted out of Kansas, also faced fierce competition at wide receiver. The moves come after the Steelers made 11 initial cuts prior to the announcement on Saturday, August 29, 2026.
