Steelers CB Justin Layne was arrested during a traffic stop early Friday morning.
Layne has since been charged with driving under suspension, a speed limit violation, and having a firearm in his vehicle. A 2019 third round pick, Layne has played in 26 games for Pittsburgh over the past couple seasons. There's a good chance he'll face a suspension once the NFL looks into his arrest.
Steelers activated CB Justin Layne from the team's reserve/COVID-19 list.
Layne spent 13 days on the COVID-19 list, according to Alex Kozora, a writer covering the Steelers. WR James Washington spent five days on the list, while Jaylen Samuels remains on the list after nine days. Fantasy managers should prepare to be without players for at least a week when they test positive for the virus during the regular season.
Layne recorded one tackle (solo) in Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Ravens.
The rookie defensive back finished the 2019 season with three tackles in 10 games. Layne played exclusively on special teams and should have a similar role in 2020 behind Joe Haden and Steven Nelson at cornerback.
