Pittsburgh Steelers return man and offensive playmaker Cordarrelle Patterson announced via social media Monday that he was released one day before Pittsburgh is set to have its first full padded practice.

Cordarrelle Patterson will have to search for that 10th kick return touchdown somewhere other than Pittsburgh. The Steelers released the returner/running back/receiver on Monday.

Patterson spent the 2024 season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, averaging a useful 4.2 yards per carry but garnering only 44 touches for an offense in dire need of playmakers. It's a rough world out there for 34-year-old running backs. Per Patterson, it got a bit rougher Monday.
