Steelers Release Pair Of Players From Practice Squad

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released a pair of players from their practice squad. Tuesday, the the team released RB Raheem Blackshear and LB Jacoby Windmon. The roster moves open up room for incoming additions like S Darrick Forrest, reportedly signed today.

The team has also reportedly agreed to terms with WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling, though Mike Tomlin told reporters earlier today that move was not official. The PPG’s Gerry Dulac reports the team does not plan to sign Valdes-Scantling this week.

Blackshear signed on October 6. A veteran running back and return man with experience handling kicks and punts, the Steelers opted to turn to rookie Ke’Shawn Williams instead.
