Steelers Release Brandon Hill After One Practice | Pittsburgh Steelers News

Steelers shock fans by releasing safety Brandon Hill just days after signing him—yes, he even played 14 snaps against Buffalo. The 25-year-old, drafted in the 7th round by Houston in 2023, bounced around the league before landing with Pittsburgh, where he’d only been for one practice. A Pitt standout with three picks and nine passes defended in college, Hill’s NFL path has been rough: one game as a rookie, practice squad stints, and a season-ending knee injury that led to a failed physical release. Now, after being cut, he’ll hit waivers—could end up back on Pittsburgh’s practice squad if he clears. Another wild ride in the NFL’s cutthroat world.
