Max Hurleman: Everything you need to know

The Steelers signed Hurleman to a reserve/future contract Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports. The rookie from Notre Dame signed with the Steelers' practice squad in August after joining the team as an undrafted free agent. The 24-year-old did not play in a single game this season. Hurleman will participate in Pittsburgh's offseason activities and attempt to earn a spot on the active roster next season.

Hurleman signed with Pittsburgh's practice squad Wednesday. Hurleman will remain in the Steelers organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The undrafted rookie out of Notre Dame signed with the Steelers in May.

The Steelers waived Hurleman on Monday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports. Hurleman had a nice showing in the Steelers' preseason opener against the Jaguars on Aug. 9, finishing with two catches (on four targets) for 29 yards and a touchdown. He wasn't able to replicate that performance across the Steelers' final two exhibition games and didn't show enough in training camp to crack the 53-man roster. Assuming he clears waivers, the undrafted free agent out of Notre Dame will look to join a team in need of depth at wide receiver, though he could be invited back by the Steelers to join the team's practice squad.
