Steelers Waive Practice-Squad Quarterback Logan Woodside

The move signals a pending injured reserve return for Will Howard or Skylar Thompson.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Brooke Pryor reported that Pittsburgh waived Logan Woodside on Tuesday, ending his stint as the team’s emergency third quarterback.
  • Woodside was signed after Skylar Thompson’s hamstring injury and filled in while both Thompson and rookie Will Howard were unavailable.
  • Aaron Rodgers remains the starter with Mason Rudolph as the primary backup as the team anticipates an IR activation at quarterback.
  • Following the transaction, the Steelers have an open active-roster spot and an additional practice-squad vacancy to address.
  • Woodside, a 2018 seventh-round pick with prior ties to coordinator Arthur Smith, has never started an NFL game and logged limited passing work, including an 8-of-15, 83-yard, one-interception preseason with Pittsburgh.
