Trey Sermon - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Back with Pittsburgh The Steelers signed Sermon to their practice squad Wednesday.

Impact The Ohio State product was dropped from the Steelers' practice squad in early December, but it now appears the team had a change of heart. Sermon has appeared in four games for Pittsburgh this season, recording 51 kick-return yards across 46 special-teams snaps.

Gets cut from practice squad The Steelers released Sermon from their practice squad Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Impact In a corresponding transaction, Pittsburgh signed offensive tackle David Sharpe to its practice squad. Sermon could be a candidate to rejoin the organization at some point down the line, but with the Steelers healthy at running back at this point, he'd be unlikely to be brought up for action on offense anyway.

Rejoins Pittsburgh's practice squad Sermon signed with Pittsburgh's practice squad Thursday.

Impact Sermon has bounced between Pittsburgh's practice squad and active roster throughout the season. He was released from the active roster Saturday but has found his way back onto the practice squad for the Steelers five days later.

NOVEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Let go by Pittsburgh The Steelers waived Sermon on Wednesday.

Impact Sermon was signed off the Steelers' practice squad to the active roster Saturday, but the fifth-year running back has been let go by Pittsburgh just four days later. He should garner interest on the waiver wire from teams looking for another contributor on special teams who can provide depth out of the backfield.

Signed to active roster The Steelers signed Sermon to the active roster from their practice squad Saturday.

Impact Sermon had already been elevated for the maximum three games before being signed to the active roster. However, the 26-year-old has played just one offensive snap across those outings, and he should continue to see the majority of his playing time on special teams going forward.

NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Goes back to practice squad The Steelers reverted Sermon to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Sermon was elevated ahead of Sunday's victory over the Colts and logged one snap on offense without getting any touches. He also recorded 19 special-teams snaps, registering one tackle in that capacity. Sermon has been elevated three times this season, so he'd need to be signed to the active roster to play again for the Steelers this season.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated again Sermon was elevated from the Steelers' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Impact Sermon will be on the active roster for the third time this season and for the first time since Week 4. Both Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell are healthy, meaning Sermon will serve in a special teams role, per Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice squad Sermon reverted to Pittsburgh's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Sermon got a gameday elevation for Sunday's matchup versus Minnesota in Dublin, Ireland. He didn't log any work on offense but did see six snaps on special teams and returned two kickoffs for 51 yards. Sermon's elevation was influenced by Jaylen Warren needing to sit out Week 4 due to a knee injury, but Warren seemingly has a good chance of being back in action for the Steelers' next game given that team has a Week 5 bye.

Elevated from practice squad The Steelers elevated Sermon from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings.

Impact Sermon is set to be elevated for the second straight week and will provide extra depth at running back if Jaylen Warren is limited due to his knee injury. Sermon played exclusively on special teams during last week's victory over the Patriots and will look to have a larger role versus Minnesota. The Steelers will be able to elevate the 26-year-old just one more time this season following Sunday's matchup.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Reverts to practice squad Sermon reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact All three of Sermon's snaps came on special teams as Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell handled touches out of the backfield while Kaleb Johnson was active but did not play. Sermon is eligible to be elevated to the Steelers' active roster two more times this season and that could come as soon as Week 4 against the Vikings in Dublin, Ireland, especially if Johnson continues to see limited to no playing time.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated from practice squad The Steelers called up Sermon from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Patriots, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Impact Sermon will get his first chance to appear in a game this season after having joined Pittsburgh's practice squad back in August. He will likely serve as the team's No. 4 running back and could see playing time on special teams as well.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Joins Steelers' practice squad Sermon signed with Pittsburgh's practice squad Wednesday.

Impact Sermon and Lew Nichols have been added to the practice squad as organizational depth behind rostered running backs Jaylen Warren, Kaleb Johnson and Kenneth Gainwell. Sermon has suited up for 42 regular-season NFL games, including all 17 with the Colts last season.

AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE

Let go by Pittsburgh Sermon was released by the Steelers on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official website reports.

Impact Sermon signed with the Steelers on May 11, and despite a relatively active preseason, the 26-year-old running back was unable to secure a spot on Pittsburgh's 53-man roster behind Jaylen Warren and rookie Kaleb Johnson. The Ohio State product will now look to latch on with another team for the 2025 season.

HIGHLIGHT: Sermon rushes for the TD RB Trey Sermon finds the end zone from 1 yard out for the touchdown

AUGUST 17 • STEELERS.COM

Scores touchdown in preseason win Sermon rushed three times for seven yards while securing all four of his targets for 28 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 31-25 preseason win over the Jaguars.

Impact While Sermon didn't make much of an impact on the ground during Saturday's preseason opener, he tied for the team lead in targets and receptions while also reaching the end zone in the third quarter. The 2021 third-rounder signed a one-year contract with the Steelers in May and is competing with Kenneth Gainwell, Evan Hull and Lew Nichols for a spot on the 53-man roster behind Jaylen Warren and rookie Kaleb Johnson.

AUGUST 10 • ROTOWIRE

Set to join Pittsburgh The Steelers are signing Sermon to a one-year contract, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Sermon was a third-round draft pick by the 49ers in 2021, but he's yet to make a major impact at the NFL level. The 26-year-old spent the past two seasons with Indianapolis, and he logged a career-high 236 offensive snaps over 17 regular-season games last year, though he averaged just 2.8 yards on 56 carries while scoring a career-high two rushing touchdowns. Sermon also logged 99 receiving yards on 16 catches and contributed on special teams late in the campaign. With Najee Harris now with the Chargers, Pittsburgh has rebuilt its running back room behind returning starter Jaylen Warren, adding both Sermon and Kenneth Gainwell in free agency along with third-round draft choice Kaleb Johnson.

MARCH 8 • COLTS.COM

Free agency looms Sermon rushed 56 times for 159 yards and two touchdowns across 17 regular-season appearances with the Colts in 2024. He also secured 16 of 19 targets for 99 yards.

Impact Sermon suited up for all 17 of Indianapolis' regular-season games but finished the year with just a 2.8 YPC mark, a significant step down in efficiency. Jonathan Taylor dominated offensive snaps in all but the three games he missed due to injury, and at times Tyler Goodson looked like a more capable No. 2 option than Sermon. With Goodson having inked a one-year extension with the Colts, Sermon could be set to walk as an unrestricted free agent.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Gets eight carries in win Sermon had eight carries for 25 yards in Sunday's win over Tennessee.

Impact Sermon had his most carries since Week 7 as he got some work with the Colts having a large lead. Jonathan Taylor had 218 yards rushing and the Colts had 335 yards rushing, so Sermon isn't likely to get many carries next week unless a similar blowout scenario happens. Sermon had minimal work the previous five weeks (1 carry total) as Taylor has received almost every touch in the backfield.

DECEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Three touches against Denver Sermon rushed once for three yards and caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Broncos.

Impact Sermon played just 18 of the Colts' 76 offensive snaps Sunday, while starter Jonathan Taylor continued to dominate the snap share with 52 snaps. The 25-year-old Sermon's rushing attempt against the Broncos in Week 15 was his first carry since Week 9. Barring an injury to Taylor, the veteran backup holds little value for fantasy purposes other than as an insurance policy. The Colts host the Titans in Week 16.

Three touches against Denver Sermon rushed once for three yards and caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Broncos.

DECEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Opportunities remain sparse Sermon saw five snaps on offense during the Colts' 25-24 win over the Patriots on Sunday, but he didn't receive a carry or target.

Impact Sermon continues to see little opportunity in a backfield dominated by Jonathan Taylor. The Ohio State product hasn't had a carry since Week 9, or a target in either of the team's last two contests. However, he was involved in the return game and had a 23-yard kick return Sunday. Indianapolis has a Week 14 bye, but Sermon will be back on the field in Week 15 against Denver, but with likely limited opportunities, unless Taylor suffers an injury.
