This offseason, he occasionally showed up at practices, tried loads, but did not participate in games. There is a high probability that the player will not play in the NFL again.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have sent offensive lineman Kevin Dotson to the Los Angeles Rams
As part of the deal, the teams traded draft picks - the Steelers received a 4th round pick in the 2024 draft and a 5th round pick in the 2025 draft, while the Rams received a 5th round pick in the 2024 draft and a 6th round pick in the 2025 draft.
Dotson was Pittsburgh's starting left guard all of last season, but the team acquired former Philadelphia Eagles player Isaac Seumalo in the offseason. The roster depth at the position allowed Pittsburgh to defer the lineman to the Rams, who have a personnel deficit.
