Former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Trey Sermon is signing with the Atlanta Falcons ahead of the 2026 season, according to Tori McElhaney .
Sermon, 27, spent the 2025 season with the Steelers, bouncing on and off their roster throughout the year.
He initially started his Steelers tenure as a tryout at rookie minicamp and turned that into a contract. Sermon spent all of training camp and the preseason on the Steelers' roster before being released during final roster cuts.
Sermon eventually played the maximum of three games as a practice squad elevation and was signed to the active roster in order to appear in a fourth game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Nov. 9.
He played mainly on special teams, logging 47 snaps on those units, returning a pair of kicks for 51 yards. He also recorded one tackle while playing on the team's kickoff, kickoff return, punt and punt return teams.

Following Sermon's fourth game, the Steelers waived him and re-signed him to the practice squad. However, his contract expired at the end of the season, anyway.
Originally a third-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers , Sermon has also spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles (2022-23) and Indianapolis Colts (2023-24).
During a three-game stretch with Ryan Day's Ohio State Buckeyes in 2020, Sermon rushed for 636 yards and four touchdowns. That effort included a 331-yard day against Northwestern in the Big Ten Championship game.
