Overview
- Pittsburgh finalized the move hours before Monday Night Football, signing Valdes-Scantling from the practice squad for Week 15 versus Miami.
- The team announced it released Ke'Shawn Williams to create the roster spot after using him primarily as a kick and punt returner this season.
- Valdes-Scantling was elevated for Week 14 against the Ravens and logged 16 snaps with one target in his Steelers debut.
- Gerry Dulac reported the club chose a full 53-man addition to avoid using one of Valdes-Scantling’s limited practice-squad elevations.
- The veteran deep threat brings prior chemistry with Aaron Rodgers and recent production that includes 19 catches for 411 yards and four touchdowns last season.
