Let go by Pittsburgh
Published: 2024-09-24
The Steelers cut Sokol from the practice squad Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Sokol spent training camp with Pittsburgh and resurfaced on the team's practice squad mid-September, but he wasn't elevated Week 3. The veteran tight end will now have to search for a similar depth role elsewhere in the league.

Back in Pittsburgh
Published: 2024-09-18
Sokol signed with the Steelers' practice squad Wednesday.
Sokol spent training camp in Pittsburgh but he was unable to earn a spot on the active roster. He'll now get another chance with the franchise, which will allow him the opportunity to work his way to the 53-man roster.
Cut by Pittsburgh
Published: 2024-08-27
Sokol was waived by the Steelers on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Sokol caught on with the Steelers in late July after spending 2023 with the Patriots. Sokol failed to register a catch across three preseason games, and assuming he clears waivers, he'll explore his next options.
Headed to Pittsburgh
Published: 2024-07-30
The Steelers signed Sokol to a contract Tuesday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
The move corresponds with Pittsburgh cutting wide receiver Marquez Callaway. Sokol was a member of the Patriots' practice squad in 2023, but he appeared in the final three games of the regular season, playing 14 snaps on offense and six snaps on special teams. Sokol will look to crack the Steelers' 53-man roster as a depth tight end behind Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington.
Back to practice squad
Published: 2024-01-08
Sokol reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Sokol played three snaps on offense in the Patriots' regular-season finale against the Jets on Sunday and did not record a stat. Sokol appeared in three games in 2023 and played 14 snaps on offense and six snaps on special teams over that span.
Elevated to active roster
Published: 2024-01-06
The Patriots elevated Sokol to the active roster Saturday.
The move corresponds with the Patriots placing Hunter Henry (knee) on IR. Sokol could be activated for New England's season finale against the Jets with Pharaoh Brown listed as questionable with a ribs injury. Sokol has played two games this season and has not recorded a snap over 11 offensive snaps.
Reverts to practice squad
Published: 2024-01-01
The Patriots reverted Sokol to their practice squad Monday.
The tight end was elevated from the practice squad for each of New England's last two games, but he only ended up playing 11 combined offensive snaps and seeing no targets. It's possible that Sokol will be elevated again if starter Hunter Henry misses a third straight game with a knee injury, but Mike Gesicki and Pharaoh Brown are the next two tight ends on the depth chart.
Elevated again for Week 17
Published: 2023-12-30
The Patriots elevated Sokol from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Last week, Sokol was elevated for the first time this season and played 10 offensive snaps against Denver, finishing the contest without any stats. His elevation for Week 17 comes as starting tight end Hunter Henry is questionable with a knee injury and in danger of missing his second straight game. Even if Henry sits out again Sunday, Sokol isn't likely to log the necessary playing time to be a relevant fantasy option.
Reverts back to practice squad
Published: 2023-12-26
Sokol reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Sokol was elevated to make his season debut during Sunday's loss to Denver, but he now returns to the practice squad. He played 10 of 58 offensive snaps Sunday with Hunter Henry (knee) out, behind Mike Gesicki's 38 snaps and Pharaoh Brown's 27.
