The Pittsburgh Steelers announced their second release of a Clemson player in three days.
Former Clemson safety Tanner Muse was among ten cuts in the push to a 53-man roster for the upcoming season. The Steelers also released former Clemson kicker BT Potter on Saturday. Muse signed a one-year deal back in April after being with the Seattle Seahawks previously. After beginning last year on the Seattle practice squad, Muse moved up the 53-man roster and played in 17 games for the Seahawks last year (one start), totaling 16 tackles and a pass breakup. He played in six games in the 2021 campaign with Seattle as well. Muse was drafted by the Raiders in the third round of the 2020 NFL draft but didn't play a snap there after injury and being waived in 2021. He signed with the Seattle practice squad after that. At Clemson, Muse was credited with 237 career tackles (10.5 for loss), 15 passes broken up, 4.0 sacks, seven interceptions for 102 yards (including a 64-yard return for a touchdown), a forced fumble and a 63-yard fumble return for a touchdown in 1,921 snaps over 59 career games (39 starts). He notched third-team AP All-America honors for the 2019 season with 73 tackles, (6.0 for loss), 2.0 sacks, five pass breakups and a team-leading four interceptions in 669 snaps over 15 games (all starts).
