The Dolphins signed Black to a reserve/future contract Tuesday. Black was signed to the Dolphins' practice squad Oct. 23, but he wasn't elevated to the active roster for a single game. The 26-year-old wide receiver's only NFL regular-season action came in 2021 with the Jets, when he played in Week 18 against the Bills and caught one pass (on two targets) for 10 yards.
The Dolphins signed Black (undisclosed) to the practice squad Wednesday. Black spent most of the 2023 regular season on the Ravens' practice squad. He signed with the Steelers during the offseason to compete for a roster spot during training camp, but he was waived with an injury settlement in mid-August due to an unspecified issue. Black appears to be over whatever was ailing him, and he'll provide the Dolphins some much-needed depth at wide receiver after Braxton Berrios (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday and with Jaylen Waddle nursing a quadriceps injury.
The Steelers waived Black (undisclosed) from injured reserve Monday. Black had just reverted to injured reserve last week but will now return to waivers. He will now look to get healthy and catch on with another team.
Black (undisclosed) reverted to IR with the Steelers on Wednesday after going unclaimed on waivers, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Black was waived/injured by Pittsburgh due to an undisclosed issue Tuesday. Now, unless he can reach an injury settlement with the team, Black is positioned to spend the rest of the season on IR. Black last suited up for regular-season action in 2019, when he played in one game with the Jets.
Black was waived/injured by the Steelers on Tuesday with an undisclosed injury. There is no word on the specific nature of Black's injury, nor the severity. If he ultimately goes unclaimed off waivers, the pass catcher would revert to Pittsburgh's injured reserve. From there, his season would be over unless both parties end up coming to terms on an injury settlement down the line. Black was competing with a plethora of receivers for a depth role prior to this move.
The Steelers signed Black on Wednesday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports. Black was let go from the Ravens practice squad back in January and has now joined a division rival in the Steelers. The Texas product's most recent in-game action came in 2021 with the Jets, catching one pass for 10 yards in just one contest. He's expected to compete for a depth role in the Steelers' wide receiver room as the preseason progresses.
