Cut by Philly
Cain was let go by the Eagles on Saturday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Cain had one of his better performances of the preseason during Thursday's 27-17 loss to the Colts, catching six of nine targets for 62 yards. However, it wasn't enough to secure a spot ahead of the team's final roster cuts at the end of August. Cain has not recorded a regular-season reception since 2020, and, if the Eagles do not opt to offer him a spot on the practice squad, then the 27-year-old will likely look to sign a contract elsewhere heading into the 2023 campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Needed in Pittsburgh
Cain was signed by the Steelers on Saturday off the Colts' practice squad.
ANALYSIS
The second-year receiver made a minimal impact in Indianapolis over seven games before losing his spot on the active roster, but with concussions having decimated Pittsburgh's receiving corps Thursday, Cain could find himself seeing significant snaps in Week 12 against the Bengals.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2019
2018
Cain joined the Steelers mid-season last year and provided little more than roster depth at wide receiver. With JuJu Smith-Schuster, Diontae Johnson, James Washington and rookie Chase Claypool ahead of him, Cain will be hard-pressed for playing time if he even makes the 53-man roster.
