The Steelers waived Watts on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports. After being waived by the Packers in training camp last year, Watts joined the Steelers' practice squad in September and signed a reserve/future contract with Pittsburgh in January. He was competing for a depth wide receiver role in training camp, but he only managed to record two catches for 14 yards across three preseason games. Assuming he goes unclaimed off waivers, Watts could be invited back to the Steelers on the practice squad roster.

Victim of roster cuts
The Steelers waived Watts on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports. After being waived by the Packers in training camp last year, Watts joined the Steelers' practice squad in September and signed a reserve/future contract with Pittsburgh in January.

Limited impact vs. Houston
Watts secured his lone target for nine yards during Friday's 20-12 preseason loss to the Texans. After spending most of last season with the Steelers' practice squad, Watts signed a reserve/future contract with the team in January. However, he didn't make much of an impact during Friday's preseason opener, with his lone reception coming with just under a minute remaining in the matchup. It seems unlikely that he'll make the Steelers' 53-man roster for the 2024 campaign, but it's possible he winds up on the practice squad in Pittsburgh or elsewhere.
