The Steelers cut quarterback Trace McSorley from their practice squad Tuesday, the team announced.
Pittsburgh signed him Dec. 4.
McSorley spent the offseason and summer with the Patriots and spent a few weeks on the Chicago practice squad earlier this season.
He played six games and made his only regular season start for the Cardinals last season. He is 48-of-93 for 502 yards, a touchdown and five interceptions in a career that also includes three appearances with the Ravens.
With Kenny Pickett back, the Steelers have three healthy quarterbacks on their 53-player roster and don’t need McSorley.
