Steelers Have Second Opportunity at Training Camp Safety Standout

The Pittsburgh Steelers could use additional safety depth, and recently, safety Sebastian Castro became available.

Castro, who began the season on the Steelers’ practice squad, was waived from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ active roster on Saturday. According to FOX Sports’ Greg Auman, the Buccaneers are “expected to sign back” Castro to their practice squad on Monday. However, before that can happen, Castro will need to clear waivers.

The Steelers have an opportunity to put in a claim for the safety before the 4 p.m. ET waiver deadline on Monday. Alternatively, General Manager Omar Khan could attempt to sign Castro directly to the Pittsburgh practice squad if he clears waivers.

Castro was originally signed by the Steelers as an undrafted free agent in May. He quickly endeared himself to fans as a potential diamond in the rough during training camp and the preseason.

With the possibility of adding a promising safety like Castro, the Steelers could bolster their depth at the position as the season progresses.
