The Justin Gilbert experiment ended Monday when the Steelers released the cornerback and former first-round draft pick of the Cleveland Browns.

Gilbert appeared in 12 games for the Steelers this past season, playing mostly on special teams. He was used on the kickoff return unit in the postseason and had three returns for 43 yards.
