PITTSBURGH, Pa. (WKBN) – NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is reporting that the Pittsburgh Steelers are releasing punter Cameron Johnston. That means Corliss Waitman has won the Steelers’ punting competition. He averaged 46.6 yards per punt in 2024.

Johnston signed with the Steelers on a three-year, $9 million contract in 2024. However, he suffered a season-ending injury in his first regular season game with the team. He was replaced by punter Corliss Waitman, who started the rest of the year for Pittsburgh.

The Steelers have informed Johnston of his release, Brooke Pryor of ESPN reports, leaving Corliss Waitman as the only punter on the roster. Waitman replaced Johnston last season after Johnston's season-ending knee injury in the season-opening victory over the Falcons.
