Quez Watkins: Back with Steel City
The Steelers signed Quez Watkins to the practice squad Friday.Watkins wasn't able to make Pittsburgh's 53-man roster in a depth wide receiver role, but he'll stick around on the practice squad. The Steelers have just five wide receivers on the active roster, and with third-round rookie Roman Wilson nursing an ankle injury, Watkins has a chance of being elevated for Week 1 against the Falcons.

Quez Watkins: Released by Steelers
The Steelers released Quez Watkins on Tuesday.It's not a great sign for his career prospects that he couldn't win a roster spot with one of the most WR-needy teams in the league. Watkins spent much of the past four years as Philadelphia's No. 3 receiver, but it was never a high-volume role and he maxed out at 62 targets in 2021.

Steelers' Quez Watkins: Targeted once in preseason loss
Quez Watkins failed to secure his lone target while rushing once for six yards during Saturday's 9-3 preseason loss to the Bills.Watkins was on the field for 53 percent of the Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive snaps Saturday, but he didn't see many touches during the low-scoring loss. He didn't have any offensive touches during last weekend's preseason opener, and he could have to put together a productive outing during next Saturday's preseason finale against Detroit to bolster his case for a spot on the 53-man roster.

Steelers' Quez Watkins: Joining Pittsburgh
Quez Watkins is signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.A 2020 sixth-round pick, Watkins made 25 starts for Philadelphia over the past four seasons but never saw more than 62 targets in a year. His 4.35 speed is his best trait, and he'll now join a Steelers team with only George Pickens entrenched as a starting wide receiver. Pittsburgh's other options at the position include Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin, Denzel Mims and Marquez Callaway, with more help possibly coming during the 2024 NFL Draft.

Eagles' Quez Watkins: Numbers dip in fourth pro season
Quez Watkins finished the 2023 regular season with 15 catches for 142 yards and one touchdown.Watkins averaged 38 catches for 501 yards over the previous two seasons, so his 2023 campaign counts as a clear disappointment. Hamstring issues limited him to nine games, but he also faced new competition from Olamide Zaccheaus and Julio Jones, which cut into a target share which was always going to be modest with A.J. Brown (knee) and DeVonta Smith on the roster.

Eagles' Quez Watkins: Hauls in first TD of season
Quez Watkins caught eight of 11 targets for 93 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Giants.With DeVonta Smith (ankle) inactive and A.J. Brown (knee) exiting early, Watkins emerged as the Philadelphia Eagles' top downfield option and led the team in catches, targets and receiving yards. The fourth-year wideout capped a season-best performance with a 16-yard TD grab from Marcus Mariota in the fourth quarter for Philly's only touchdown and Watkins' first score of the year. It's unclear if either Brown or Smith will be available for the Eagles' wild-card matchup with the Buccaneers next weekend, so Watkins could see an elevated role once again.

Eagles' Quez Watkins: Zero targets in return to action
Quez Watkins returned from a hamstring injury in Sunday's 37-34 win over the Bills but didn't draw a target in the passing game.Watkins stood a clear third on the wide receiver depth chart at the beginning of the season, but after missing five weeks with a hamstring injury, he may have fallen all the way down to fifth. His 16 offensive snaps trailed Olamide Zaccheaus' 18 by a narrow margin, with both wideouts seeing the field far less than Julio Jones (47 snaps), who was signed during Watkins' absence and appears to have a firm grip on the No. 3 job behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
