The Pittsburgh Steelers are releasing cornerback Beanie Bishop, the team announced on Monday. Bishop had been with the team all season on their practice squad and was their starting slot cornerback in 2024. His release will make room for Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

Overall, Bishop played 45 snaps across two games this preseason, but defensive coordinator Teryl Austin said before the team’s final preseason game that it would be important for Bishop as he made a push towards the roster.

“He’s really going against some pretty good competition at the nickel now that you throw No. 5 (Jalen Ramsey) in there and then you throw (Brandin Echols) in there,” Austin said. “He’s really got to fight and work to make some splash to put himself in the picture.”
