Steelers Sign WR Rakim Jarrett to Practice Squad, Release Lance McCutcheon

The addition follows Pittsburgh’s evaluation of the former Buccaneers receiver during a joint practice, capped by a Sept. 5 workout.

Overview

  • Pittsburgh announced the practice-squad move on Sept. 8, adding Rakim Jarrett and cutting Lance McCutcheon.
  • Jarrett went undrafted out of Maryland in 2023 and logged 20 games with Tampa Bay over two seasons as a slot option and depth piece.
  • He recorded 13 receptions for 184 yards in Tampa Bay, with 325 offensive snaps and 161 special-teams snaps across two years.
  • Tampa Bay released Jarrett in late August after a crowded receiver room that included first-round pick Emeka Egbuka; he had two catches for 26 yards in the preseason.
  • Jarrett brings kick-return experience and joins Ke’Shawn Williams and Max Hurleman on Pittsburgh’s practice squad behind five receivers on the active roster.
