Omar Khan and the Pittsburgh Steelers announce waiving undrafted free agent linebacker Daylan Carnell on Monday.
Undrafted rookie linebacker Daylan Carnell contending for a roster spot with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2026 came to an end on Monday.
The Steelers announced waiving Carnell, along with punter Aidan Laros, to begin this week. The team also signed rookie wide receiver Levi Wentz.
After the moves, the Steelers have an open spot on their roster for another addition.
In May, the Steelers signed Carnell as one of their six undrafted free agents following the 2026 NFL Draft. Carnell appeared in 56 games during his college career for Missouri.
“He had 19.5 tackles for a loss, three sacks, five interceptions, 29 passes defensed, four forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries,” wrote Steelers.com’s Teresa Varley on May 8.
Carnell’s stint with the Steelers was short, but Laros’ Pittsburgh tenure was even shorter. The Steelers signed the punter less than a week ago on June 9.
Parting with Laros leaves veteran Cameron Johnston as the only punter on the Pittsburgh offseason roster.
Wentz will join a Steelers receiver group that already includes 10 players. Wentz spent a few weeks with the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent this spring.
The wideout is a Pittsburgh native and played high school football at Pine-Richland.
