Steelers Place P Daniel Sepulveda on Reserve/Injured List;
Make Three Additional Roster Moves


PITTSBURGH ― The Steelers placed punter Daniel Sepulveda on the Reserve/Injured List and made three other roster moves, the team announced today, bringing the team’s total number of players to 77 players (one international practice squad player).

Sepulveda (6-3, 230) injured his knee prior to the team’s first preseason game and had season-ending surgery the following week. The Steelers’ first of two fourth-round draft picks (112th overall) in the 2007 NFL Draft, Sepulveda was the recipient of the Joe Greene Great Performance Award as a rookie, given annually to the team’s top rookie after averaging 44.3 yards per punt last season.

Additionally, the Steelers released quarterback Mike Potts, wide receiver Jeremy Bloom and defensive lineman Martavius Prince.

The Steelers currently have 77 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. The Steelers must make one more roster move prior to tomorrow’s 4 p.m. ET deadline to meet the NFL’s maximum roster limit.
