Steelers have visit with a familiar face at WR on Wednesday

The Steelers always have their eye out for tall, talented receivers to bolster their practice squad.

 

Wide receiver Anthony Johnson, who was with Pittsburgh in the offseason, visited with the team on Wednesday, per the NFL transaction report.

In January, Johnson signed a reserve/future contract with the Steelers. He was waived/injured in August, reverted to the team’s injured reserve list (knee) and waived with an injury settlement on Sept. 4.

Johnson signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent in 2019. After he was waived during final roster cuts, he joined the Los Angeles Chargers practice squad. Two days after his PS contract expired, he signed with the Steelers.

The 6’2 former Buffalo Bull has yet to see the playing field in a professional game. The Steelers love their tall receivers and they can never have enough of them on their practice squad.
