"The move, though it might not happen right away, will reunite Valdes-Scantling with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, whom he played with for four seasons in Green Bay from 2018 to 2021. The wide receiver probably will start out on the Steelers' practice squad, sources told Fowler, but the team decided to bring him into the fold after a successful workout Monday."
"The move adds another depth option to a crew of Steelers wide receivers. DK Metcalf leads the Steelers with 461 receiving yards, 17.1 yards per reception and five receiving touchdowns, but the group behind him hasn't been consistently productive. Fourth-year receiver Calvin Austin III, who sat out the past two games because of a shoulder injury, has the next most receiving yards among receivers with 167 and two touchdowns."
Steelers plan to sign wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling after a successful workout. The move reunites Valdes-Scantling with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, whom he played with in Green Bay from 2018 to 2021. Valdes-Scantling will probably begin on the Steelers' practice squad. The signing adds depth behind lead receiver DK Metcalf, who leads the team with 461 receiving yards, 17.1 yards per reception and five touchdowns. Fourth-year Calvin Austin III has 167 receiving yards and two touchdowns after missing two games with a shoulder injury. Roman Wilson has 110 receiving yards, and the team has leaned on tight ends plus running backs Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell as pass catchers. The Steelers could pursue additional offensive playmakers before the trade deadline.
