PITTSBURGH -- Cornerback Luq Barcoo has reverted to the Pittsburgh Steelers injured reserve list after being waived/injured, according to NFL insider Aaron Wilson. Barcoo cleared waivers, going 24 hours without being claimed, placing him on IR in Pittsburgh.
Barcoo, 25, spent last season on the Steelers practice squad after being a UFL standout the year prior. The former undrafted cornerback out of San Diego State has spent time with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Arizona Cardinals, Kansas City Chiefs and New York Jets. He arrived in Pittsburgh last spring and was heavily involved in the cornerback competition to make the roster as a depth piece, but ultimately ended up on the practice squad by the start of the season.Barcoo now waits to find out his future in Pittsburgh. He could remain on injured reserve throughout the season, or the team could release him on an injury settlement, allowing him to train outside the facility and rehab whatever injury he's dealing with.
The Steelers cornerback room is thin, but there are some young options who could emerge. Names like Darius Rush and Cory Trice Jr. are impressing at OTAs. Barcoo was likely in that mix before his injury.Noah is the Publisher for All Steelers, Inside the Panthers and Inside the Penguins , and is the host of All Steelers Talk . A Scranton native, Noah made his way to the Pittsburgh sports scene in 2017. Now, he's pretty much full-yinzer.
