Marsh joined the Steelers after being signed off the Colts’ practice squad in December 2020. Down the stretch run last season, Marsh got some playing time, including some significant snaps in the Wild Card game against the Cleveland Browns.

Thought the 2021 preseason, Marsh registered three or more pressures in two out of the four Steelers’ games according to Pro Football Focus. He was beat out for the spot on the Steelers roster by upstart Jamir Jones.

The Steelers later lost Jones on waivers and eventually replaced him with Taco Charlton, who will back up Alex Highsmith and T.J. Watt on Monday.
