ROBERT WOODS NEWS

Cut from practice squad The Steelers released Woods from their practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Woods is 33 years old and has no desire to be on a team's practice squad, and he only wants to play if he's on a 53-man roster, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Woods spent the summer in Pittsburgh but was unable to crack to the Steelers' Week 1 roster.

Re-signs to practice squad The Steelers signed Woods to the practice squad Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Impact Woods couldn't make Pittsburgh's initial 53-man roster after spending the offseason with the team, but he'll remain present as an emergency depth option at wide receiver on the practice squad. The Steelers are thin at wideout behind DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin (abdomen), so Woods' path to suiting up for regular-season action is clearer than the average practice-squad player,

Steelers move on The Steelers are releasing Woods, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Per Rapoport, the door is open for a possible return to the team on the part of the veteran wideout. Either way, Woods plans to play in 2025, but for now it looks like the Steelers' WR3 job (behind DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin) remains up for grabs.

Not targeted in preseason loss Woods wasn't targeted during Saturday's 17-14 preseason loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Although Woods has been on the field for both of Pittsburgh's preseason games so far, he hasn't been targeted in either matchup. The 33-year-old didn't generate much production in Houston over the past two seasons, and he now appears to be in danger of missing out on a 53-man roster spot with the Steelers ahead of the 2025 campaign. Woods will have one more opportunity to make his case for a roster spot during Thursday's exhibition matchup against Carolina.

May end up starting Woods has improved odds for a starting job after the Steelers traded WR George Pickens to Dallas, Chris Adamski of TribLive.com reports.

Impact Even if the 33-year-old ends up starting, it'd likely be in a similar role to what we saw last season from Van Jefferson, who got 40 targets on 721 offensive snaps while starting 12 of 17 regular-season games. While he had some prolific seasons earlier in his career, Woods mostly is valued for blocking and leadership at this point, having averaged 31 receiving yards per game or less in three straight seasons since leaving the Rams. As things currently stand, his main competition for snaps behind DK Metcalf would be 162-pound slot man Calvin Austin and 2024 third-round pick Roman Wilson.
