Mike Tomlin and Aaron Rodgers are seeing changes on the Pittsburgh Steelers roster, with a player leaving the City of Bridges to make room for a Super Bowl champion.

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed two-time Super Bowl champion wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the practice squad on Tuesday, the team announced.

Valdes-Scantling chose to sign with the 49ers ' practice squad this summer instead of joining the Steelers because he thought San Francisco presented him with a better opportunity given the 49ers' injuries at his position. And while he did play in five games, he caught just four passes for 40 yards during his brief time there.

He is a really special guy, and I think MVS can still really play,” Aaron Rodgers says about Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

But to make room for the two-time Super Bowl winner, Pittsburgh had to say goodbye to one of its own. A home grown talent from West Virginia who made the team as a UDFA and ended up starting for the Steelers in 2024, is now gone before taking a single snap in 2025.
