The Pittsburgh Steelers released veteran wide receiver Robert Woods from the practice squad on Tuesday, reportedly at his request when he didn't make the 53-man roster, according to NFL Network.
The 33-year-old Woods, going into his 13th season, was behind five receivers on the 53-man roster: Calvin Austin III, DK Metcalf, Scotty Miller, Ben Skowronek and Roman Wilson.
Pittsburgh signed Woods to a one-year, $2 million contract as a free agent in April. He received a signing bonus of $745,000.
Woods played the past two seasons with the Houston Texans, catching 20 passes for 203 yards over 15 games (four starts) in 2024, but he did not have a receiving touchdown for the first time in his 12 NFL seasons.
Woods' most productive seasons came with the Los Angeles Rams from 2017-21, catching 367 passes for 4,626 yards and 23 touchdowns while helping the team in an injury-shortened campaign to the Super Bowl LVI title in the 2021 season.
Over 171 career games (145 starts), Woods has 683 receptions for 8,233 yards and 38 touchdowns for the Buffalo Bills (2013-16), Rams, Tennessee Titans (2022) and Texans.
