Steelers Waive Tight End Cody Boyd
PITTSBURGH ― The Steelers placed tight end Cody Boyd on the Waived/Injured List, the team announced today. The release of Boyd brings the team’s roster to the NFL maximum of 76 players, including one international practice squad player.
Boyd (6-8, 264) was originally signed by the Steelers as an undrafted free agent in May of 2007. He was released by the team and spent a portion of the 2007 season on the Washington Redskins active roster and practice squad. Boyd was re-signed earlier this year by the Steelers.
The Steelers currently have 76 players on their roster due to the exemption of wide receiver Marvin Allen, who will be a member of the team’s practice squad this year as part of the NFL’s international player development program.
