The Pittsburgh Steelers have announced the signing of wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to their practice squad as of Tuesday. This move marks a reunion for Valdes-Scantling and former teammate Aaron Rodgers, who played together on the Green Bay Packers from 2018 to 2021.
Valdes-Scantling, 31, has a notable career highlighted by his contributions to the Kansas City Chiefs, where he secured two Super Bowl titles in 2022 and 2023. Most recently, he was with the San Francisco 49ers, catching four passes for 40 yards before his release last month.
Despite holding the top position in the AFC North with a record of 5-3, the Steelers have faced challenges in achieving consistent performance from their wide receivers, aside from DK Metcalf, who leads the team with 29 receptions. The remaining top pass catchers are primarily running backs or tight ends, underscoring the need for bolstered receiving options.
