The Pittsburgh Steelers have dismissed assistant special teams coach Derius Swinton II. The move came Friday morning due to a violation of club policy. Additional reporting specifies the reason as workplace misconduct.
The Steelers parted ways with Swinton on May 29 after he was hired in February as part of new head coach Mike McCarthy’s staff. He worked under special teams coordinator Danny Crossman, who was brought in a week earlier. A team source told ESPN that the dismissal stemmed from workplace misconduct, though the team did not detail the exact violation. Swinton did not respond to requests for comment.
