Overview

  • The team announced the practice-squad signing Tuesday and on Wednesday listed Valdes-Scantling in jersey No. 11.
  • Tomlin told reporters Valdes-Scantling will remain on the practice squad for now and said Rodgers did not lobby him about the move.
  • Valdes-Scantling said Rodgers was the reason he chose Pittsburgh, describing direct conversations that led to his decision.
  • Pittsburgh released practice-squad cornerback Beanie Bishop Jr. to open a spot for the veteran receiver.
  • The depth addition follows a quiet trade deadline at receiver for the Steelers; Valdes-Scantling offers a proven deep threat with a 17.3-yard career average after a short stint with the 49ers.
