The Pittsburgh Steelers elevated linebacker Anthony Chickillo from the practice squad to the active roster and released rookie defensive end Caushaud Lyons on Wednesday.

Chickillo landed a spot on the Steelers’ 53-man roster after the preseason before he was assigned to the practice squad on Sept. 7.

Lyons was an undrafted rookie signee in May by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who waived him before the Steelers picked him up.
