The Steelers, now sitting at 6-6, have released veteran defensive back Darius Slay, with both he and the team mutually agreeing to part ways. The Steelers also successfully claimed former Minnesota Vikings and Carolina Panthers wideout Adam Thielen after he was released by Minnesota.

This 34-year-old veteran could be an option for Philadelphia's struggling defense, which has allowed over 400 yards in consecutive losses to Dallas and Chicago.

Former Los Angeles Chargers' 2nd-round draft pick Asante Samuel has been promoted to the Pittsburgh Steelers' active roster.
