Stevenson Sylvester And 2 Tight Ends Workout For Steelers

LB  Stevenson Sylvester, TE Chase Clement, and TE Ryan Otten were reportedly in Pittsburgh earlier this week for workouts with the team.

The team parted ways with Sly on August 25th, when the training camp roster was reduced down to 75. Drafted by the Steelers with the 166th pick in the 2010 draft, Sylvester has remained unsigned since being cut by the Steelers.

Clement was a UDFA out of LSU who was signed by the Giants this spring and cut in August. He was originally a defensive linemen in college, but converted to tight end, and was used mainly as a blocker. The Giants had hoped to use him as fullback hybrid, and one staff member said he saw similarities to Jake Ballard. Clement is  6′ 4″ and 265 lbs. His uncle is former Lions offensive linemen Eric Andolsek.

Otten is a 6′ 5″, 230 lb tight end who was signed by the Jaguars as an UDFA out of San Jose State U this spring. He was cut by the Jaguars in August.

Update- Otten was reportedly signed to the Chargers practice squad yesterday afternoon.
