The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to sign veteran wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to their practice squad, according to multiple reports. The move would mark his second stint with the team’s offseason roster and is framed as a reunion with quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Valdes-Scantling is coming off a release from the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday. Several outlets cite reporting that the Steelers’ interest is connected to Rodgers, describing Valdes-Scantling as a familiar option after they previously played together. The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo and other NFL reporters expect the signing to place the receiver on Pittsburgh’s practice squad rather than the active roster.
Across the coverage, the central points align on timing and role: a new Steelers receiver addition after a recent Chargers release, with practice-squad status expected and a stated connection to Rodgers.
