Some much-needed wide receiver help is on the way for the Pittsburgh Steelers, as the team is reportedly set to reunite with a familiar face who knows Aaron Rodgers all too well.
According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, sources indicate that the Steelers are expected to sign veteran wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to their practice squad. Valdes-Scantling reunited with Rodgers in 2025 and appears to be ready for another 2026 stint with Pittsburgh.
