The Pittsburgh Steelers released QB Logan Woodside from their practice squad, the team announced today.
Woodside signed with the Steelers in training camp following QB Will Howard’s broken finger. He saw action in two preseason games, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers, and went 8-15 passing for 83 yards and an interception. He was part of Pittsburgh’s roster cuts, but was brought back to the practice squad after QB Skylar Thompson suffered an injury in practice ahead of Week 2.
The Steelers have opted to have just two quarterbacks active and not use an emergency third quarterback since Thompson’s injury, so it isn’t a huge surprise that the team is moving on from Woodside.
