The Steelers have released wide receiver Robert Woods from the practice squad ahead of the team’s Week 1 matchup against the New York Jets, Pittsburgh announced Tuesday.
After the move was announced, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport posted on X that the veteran wide receiver “asked for and was granted” his release from the team. Woods reportedly “only wants to continue playing if he’s in a 53-man roster and playing.”
Woods, 33, has over 8,000 career receiving yards. He spent the summer with the Steelers, making the team’s initial practice squad after a quiet preseason.
