PITTSBURGH -- Marquez Valdes-Scantling is back with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Steelers signed the veteran wide receiver to their practice squad Tuesday ahead of a trip to Paris to take on the New Orleans Saints.
Valdes-Scantling, 32, spent a portion of the 2025 season in Pittsburgh, catching 10 passes for 80 yards and a touchdown in five games before adding three receptions in a first-round playoff loss to the Houston Texans.
Pittsburgh is in need of help at wide receiver after Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson were both put on injured reserve in the past week, leaving little experienced depth behind DK Metcalf and rookie Germie Bernard, who combined for 22 catches in a comeback win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
The Steelers are Valdes-Scantling's third team in less than two months. He was released by the Dallas Cowboys in late August then signed with the Los Angeles Chargers in September, catching two passes for 22 yards in three games before being released last week.
Valdes-Scantling has a history with Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers going back to their time together with the Green Bay Packers. Valdes-Scantling had 123 receptions in four seasons with the Packers from 2018 to 2021.
