The Seahawks signed Boykin to their practice squad Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Boykin was cut from the Giants' practice squad at the beginning of September, but he's now found a new opportunity in Seattle. The 2019 third-round pick's most recent in-game action came with the Steelers in 2023, when he appeared in 17 regular-season games, playing primarily on special teams (314 snaps).

Miles Boykin: Loses spot
Rotowire
Boykin was cut from the Giants' practice squad Monday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Boykin was the odd man out in a series of movies that saw Jakob Johnson released from the 53-man roster, Adoree' Jackson signed to it, and then Johnson re-signed to the practice squad. Boykin will work to find a new opportunity, but his lack of success over the past three seasons and inability to live up to his third-round selection in the 2019 NFL Draft may make things difficult for the Notre Dame product.

Miles Boykin: Back with G-Men
Rotowire

Miles Boykin: Released by G-Men
Rotowire
The Giants released Boykin on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
New York wants to bring Boykin back on the practice squad, reports Fowler. A third-round pick by the Ravens in 2019, Boykin never developed into an NFL wideout, but he's been a special-teams standout. He has just six catches over the last three seasons but has played over 600 snaps on special teams in that time.

Giants' Miles Boykin: Signed by Big Blue
Rotowire
The Giants signed Boykin on Tuesday.
In 17 regular-season games while working mainly on special teams for the Steelers in 2023, Boykin caught three of his four targets for 17 yards. With the Giants, the 6-foot-4, 220-pounder will provide size and added depth to the squad's wide receiver corps and likely fill a similar role.

Steelers' Miles Boykin: Minimal production in 2023
Rotowire
Boykin secured three of four targets for 17 yards over 17 games during the 2023 season.
Although Boykin appeared in every game during the 2023 regular season, he served mainly on special teams and didn't log double-digit receiving yards in any game. He's secured six of just eight targets for 34 yards over the past three seasons, and while he'll become a free agent during the offseason, it seems unlikely that he'll carve out a sizable role in 2024.

Steelers' Miles Boykin: No targets in Week 13 loss
Rotowire
Boykin played 12 of the Steelers' 61 snaps on offense and went without a target in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Cardinals.
Boykin went without a target for the fourth consecutive contest and will likely continue to see minimal involvement in the Pittsburgh passing game so long as fellow wideouts Diontae Johnson, George Pickens, Allen Robinson and Calvin Austin are all available.

Steelers' Miles Boykin: Held in check again
Rotowire
Boykin secured his lone target for six yards during the Steelers' 20-16 win over the Titans on Thursday.
Boykin logged his first catch since Week 2 during Thursday's matchup, but he still had minimal production against Tennessee. Unless several of the Steelers' receivers are unavailable at some point, Boykin isn't a fantasy-relevant option.

Steelers' Miles Boykin: One target in victory
Rotowire
Boykin failed to secure his lone target during the Steelers' 17-10 win over the Ravens on Sunday.
Even with Diontae Johnson (hamstring) on injured reserve in recent matchups, Boykin has had a minimal role in the Steelers' offense early in 2023. He played double-digit offensive snaps for the first time this year during Sunday's narrow victory, but he's unlikely to have much fantasy upside moving forward.

Steelers' Miles Boykin: Not targeted in defeat
Rotowire
Boykin wasn't targeted during the Steelers' 30-7 loss to San Francisco on Sunday.
Boykin made Pittsburgh's final roster for the start of the 2023 campaign, but he was on the field for just five offensive snaps in the regular-season opener. He saw a role on special teams but is unlikely to have a fantasy-relevant role early in the season. Boykin could see a slight uptick in snaps if Diontae Johnson (hamstring) is forced to miss additional time, but it still seems unlikely that he'd have a significant role on offense.

Steelers' Miles Boykin: Trending toward making final roster
Rotowire
Boykin seems likely to make the Steelers' 53-man roster due to his abilities on special teams, Mark Kaboly of The Athletic reports.
Boykin had a quiet preseason, securing one of two targets for seven yards over his three appearances. However, after re-signing with the Steelers in April, Boykin has impressed on special teams and has drawn praise from special teams coordinator Danny Smith. Even if Boykin is on the 53-man roster to begin the 2023 campaign, it seems unlikely he'll carry much fantasy value in the passing game.

Steelers' Miles Boykin: Re-signs with Pittsburgh
Rotowire
Pittsburgh re-signed Boykin to a one-year deal Monday.
After catching 32 of 55 targets for 464 yards and seven touchdowns during his first two NFL campaigns in Baltimore, the 2019 third-round pick has secured just three of four targets for 17 yards over his past two seasons. Last year, his first with Pittsburgh, Boykin recorded just two receptions for 11 yards and had more work on special teams than offense. He's unlikely to crack the top of the Steelers' wideout depth chart in 2023, but his special-teams experience gives him an early advantage for a spot on the initial roster.

Steelers' Miles Boykin: Full participant Wednesday
Rotowire
Boykin (oblique) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
Boykin missed the Steelers' win over the Colts on Monday night due to an oblique injury that knocked him out of the team's Week 12 loss. However, he appears to have moved past the issue and should be full go heading into Sunday's showdown with the Falcons. The fourth-year wideout has caught just one of two targets for 11 yards across 10 appearances this season and has mostly operated on special teams.

Steelers' Miles Boykin: Sidelined for MNF
Rotowire
Boykin (oblique) has been ruled inactive ahead of Monday's game against the Colts.
Boykin was forced out with an oblique injury during last week's loss to the Bengals, and he only logged two limited practices ahead of Monday night's game. The 26-year-old has collected one of his two targets for 11 yards in 2022, though he'll now miss his first game of the season. With Boykin out, Diontae Johnson, George Pickens, Steven Sims, Gunner Olszewski and Cody White will operate as the Steelers' available wideouts Week 12.

Steelers' Miles Boykin: Questionable for Monday
Rotowire
Boykin (oblique) is listed as questionable for Monday's game at Indianapolis, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
After opening the week with a DNP on Thursday, Boykin managed back-to-back limited sessions as he deals with an oblique injury stemming from last Sunday's loss to the Bengals. The Steelers don't have to make any signings or elevations to bolster the receiving corps until Monday, so his status is entirely up in the air for Week 12.

Steelers' Miles Boykin: Limited participant Friday
Rotowire
Boykin (oblique) practiced in a limited fashion Friday, Chris Halicke of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
Boykin sustained an oblique injury during Sunday's loss to the Bengals and was unable to suit up during the first practice of Week 12 on Thursday. It's an encouraging sign to see the wide receiver back as a limited participant during Friday's session, though his status for Monday's game against Indianapolis is still up in the air. Boykin has accumulated just one reception while primarily playing on special teams over the first 10 games of the season, and he'll have one more opportunity to improve his activity before Saturday's final injury report.

Steelers' Miles Boykin: Absent from practice
Rotowire
Boykin (oblique) didn't practice Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Boykin sustained an oblique injury Sunday against the Bengals, and it was discouraging to see him absent from practice Thursday. If he hopes to suit up Monday against Indianapolis, he'll likely need to practice in some capacity later in the week.

Steelers' Miles Boykin: Limited production Sunday
Rotowire
Boykin secured his lone target for 11 yards during the Steelers' 38-3 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
Although the Steelers attempted plenty of passes during Sunday's blowout loss, Boykin's playing time remained limited. He played mainly on special teams and was on the field for just five of the team's offensive snaps. As long as the Steelers' other receivers remain healthy, Boykin is unlikely to have a fantasy-relevant role in the team's offense.

Steelers' Miles Boykin: Targeted once in opener
Rotowire
Boykin failed to secure his lone target during Sunday's 23-20 overtime win over the Bengals.
Boykin had limited production during his final season with the Ravens in 2021, securing his lone target for six yards over eight appearances. While he drew a target during his Steelers debut Sunday, he was on the field for just 13 percent of the team's offensive snaps and played mainly on special teams. As long as the Steelers' other pass catchers remain healthy, it seems unlikely Boykin will be a reliable fantasy option.

Steelers' Miles Boykin: Quiet against Jaguars
Rotowire
Boykin (ribs) secured his lone target for nine yards during the Steelers' 16-15 preseason win over the Jaguars on Saturday.
Boykin dealt with a hip injury over the last week, but the issue didn't prevent him from playing during Pittsburgh's second preseason matchup. However, he was on the field for just 14 percent of the team's offensive snaps after playing 41 percent during the preseason opener. The 2019 third-rounder will have one more chance to make an impact during the preseason Sunday against the Lions.
