“Pittsburgh Steelers release veteran WR before playoff game”

The Pittsburgh Steelers have announced that they are releasing wide receiver Scotty Miller ahead of the team’s playoff matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.

The move opens a spot on Pittsburgh’s 53-man roster that could be filled by offensive lineman Calvin Anderson (groin), who is working toward a return from the injured/reserve list.

Miller followed offensive coordinator Arthur Smith from the Atlanta Falcons to the Steelers last offseason. He played a significant role in the offense during the first few weeks of the season, as he totaled 73 snaps and two catches for 31 yards from Weeks 1-3.

From that point on, however, Miller’s playing time decreased and he was inactive four times following Pittsburgh’s bye in Week 9, having been passed on the depth chart by Mike Williams and Ben Skowronek.

Miller was a sixth-round pick out of Bowling Green in 2019 and spent the first four years of his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His best season came in 2020, when he caught 33 catches for 501 yards and three touchdowns alongside Tom Brady before the team won Super Bowl LV over the Kansas City Chiefs.

Miller then recorded 11 receptions for 161 yards and two scores with Atlanta in 2023 before joining the Steelers.
