Steelers Cut LB Kion Wilson, Sign DB Lew Toler

Leave a reply

The Steelers have made a couple roster moves on the eve of training camp. According to Aaron Wilson of the National Football Post, the team has cut linebacker Kion Wilson. Wilson saw a helmet for 7 games last season, and spent time on the practice squad as well.

The Steelers have added cornerback Lew Toler to fill the available roster spot. Toler was with the team for tryouts during rookie mini-camp. The 5’11”, 190 lb defensive back ran a 4.61 40 at his pro day workout, and recorded a 31.5″ vertical and 9’11” broad jump.

Brian Arnfelt Promoted From Practice Squad, Kion Wilson Released

Leave a reply

The Steelers announced today that they have promoted defensive end Brian Arnfelt from the practice squad. LB Kion Wilson has been released to make room for the move. Wilson had a rough go of it earlier in the season, and hasn’t been active on game day for weeks.

Arnfelt is a UDFA out of Northwestern who has been on the practice squad since the beginning of the season. He was with the Steelers throughout training camp. Promoting Arnfelt is a depth move, as Brett Keisel is out again this week, and Steve McLendon is questionable for tomorrow night’s game. The rookie defensive end looked pretty good during the brief showings in preseason.

Steelers Waive Isaac Redman, Sign LB Wilson

The Steelers have announced that they have waived Isaac Redman today. Kion Wilson has been re-signed to fill the available roster spot. Redman was named starter over Jonathan Dwyer after hardly playing this preseason. The release of Redman doesn’t really come as a surprise, or it shouldn’t anyway. The writing has been on the wall. He hasn’t been active on gameday since week 3, and has battled with injury/concussion issues during the first few games. Wilson was added to the practice squad October 11th shortly after being released to sign Sylvester.

Steelers Sign Stevenson Sylvester, Release Kion Wilson

Leave a reply

The Steelers have announced that they have signed former Steelers LB Stevenson Sylvester. LB Kion Wilson has been released. I reported earlier that the team had Sylvester in for a workout yesterday. Sylvester has been a free agent since being cut by the team on August 25th. Coach Tomlin said that Kion Wilson was a partial participant in practice yesterday. He injured his hamstring during the loss to the Vikings. Tomlin also mentioned that Da’Mon Cromartie-Smith was questionable with an injured hip flexor, so Sylvester’s services may likely be needed mainly to help on special teams.
