The Pittsburgh Steelers placed LB Shawn Lemon on waivers Thursday, according to the NFL Transactions release. The move was listed with Lemon failed physical designation.
The Stampeders released Lemon from his contract in order to allow him to pursue a career in the NFL back in January. It was just a few weeks later that the Steelers signed him to a future/reserve contract.
Lemon, 26, recorded 31 tackles, 13 sacks, an interception and tied the CFL single-season record with eight forced fumbles during the 2014 season.
The Steelers filled the roster void and signed CB Jordan Sullen to a contract as well.
Sullen, 25, originally signed on with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent out of Tulane back in May of last year. He, unfortunately, was among the Broncos final roster cuts, but later signed on to the Bears’ practice squad before eventually joining the Steelers in October.
During his four years at Tulane, Sullen recorded 96 tackles, 2.5 tackles for a loss, three interceptions and a forced fumble.
