Blacknall was waived by the Steelers on August 21st. But after a slew of injuries at WR, including a foot injury to Ryan Switzer, the team needed to add depth to finish out training camp. Blacknall signed a futures contract in the offseason, an intriguing height/weight/speed player and vertical threat out of Penn State.
