Steelers' Brandon Smith: Heading to Pittsburgh
The Steelers signed Smith to a reserve/future contract Thursday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Smith ended the 2025 season on the Patriots' practice squad after spending the majority of the campaign with the Jets organization. He joined the NFL in May of 2021 as an undrafted free agent and has appeared in three regular-season games, all of which came over the last two years with the Jets. Smith will be a part of the Steelers' 90-man roster when the offseason begins Feb. 9, which affords him the opportunity to participate in OTAs, minicamp and training camp.

Brandon Smith: Signed to practice squad
The Patriots signed Smith to the practice squad Tuesday.
Smith was waived from the Jets' practice squad Dec. 2. The former Jet may have a chance for a revenge game this Sunday, as the wide receiver is a prime candidate for practice squad elevation with Kayshon Boutte (concussion) and DeMario Douglas (hamstring) both nursing injuries ahead of the contest.

Brandon Smith: Gets cut from practice squad
The Jets cut Smith from their practice squad Tuesday, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.
In a corresponding transaction, the Jets signed cornerback Samuel Womack to their practice squad. Smith was waived from the Jets' active roster back in October before re-signing with the practice squad mere days later, so he could be a candidate to be brought back into the organization at some point down the line.

Brandon Smith: Back with Jets on practice squad
The Jets signed Smith to the practice squad Thursday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Smith was waived by the Jets on Tuesday after signing to their active roster Saturday, but he has opted to stay in New York as a member of the practice squad after clearing waivers.

Brandon Smith: Gets waived
The Jets waived Smith on Tuesday, Susanna Welr of the team's official site reports.

Jets' Brandon Smith: Inked to Jets' active roster
The Jets signed Smith from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Smith's addition to the active roster corresponds with the Jets placing Josh Reynolds (hip) on injured reserve. Smith was elevated to the Jets' active roster for Week 6 against the Broncos and played 12 snaps on special teams without showing up on the box score otherwise. He'll give the Jets an additional body on special teams, but he could also be in the mix for snaps on offense against the Bengals on Sunday due to the absences of Reynolds and Garrett Wilson (knee).

Brandon Smith: Returns to practice squad
Smith reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Smith was elevated to the active roster ahead of the team's 13-11 loss to the Broncos on Sunday, failing to record any stats while playing 12 snaps with the special-teams unit. With fellow wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) expected to miss a couple weeks, it's possible that Smith could be elevated again for New York's matchup with the Panthers in Week 7.

Jets' Brandon Smith: Elevated for Week 6
The Jets elevated Smith from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
It's Smith's first elevation of the season, and he is in line to make his 2025 regular-season debut against the Broncos on Sunday in London, England. The 26-year-old wideout logged 10 catches (on 13 targets) for 113 yards through three preseason games with the Jets but was unable to crack the 53-man roster at the end of training camp.

Brandon Smith: Waived by Jets
Smith was waived Tuesday, Randy Lange and Eric Allen of the Jets' official site report.
Smith's strong preseason play wasn't enough for him to secure a spot on the Jets' 53-man roster. The 26-year-old wideout appeared in one regular-season game for the Jets in 2024 and is a candidate to land on the practice squad if he doesn't garner interest on waivers.

Jets' Brandon Smith: Ties for team receiving lead
Smith caught five of six targets for 48 yards in Saturday's 31-12 preseason loss to the Giants.
Smith tied Quentin Skinner for the team lead in receiving yards Saturday. Despite the unsettled nature of the Jets' wide receiver depth chart, Smith's almost certainly on the outside looking in when projecting the team's 53-man roster for the regular season. He'll look to bolster his chances of making the team in Friday's preseason finale against the Eagles.

Smith has been with New York's practice squad throughout the campaign, and Sunday will mark his first elevation. If he plays Sunday, the 26-year-old wideout will be making his NFL debut. Smith's elevation comes after fellow receiver Irvin Charles (knee) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

Brandon Smith: Returns to Jets

Smith's impressive preseason performance was enough to earn a spot on the Jets' practice squad, as he caught all five of his targets for a team-leading 120 yards. Although he has yet to appear in an NFL regular-season game since entering the league in 2021, he could be elevated to the Jets' active roster if injuries riddle the team's wide receiver room at any point this season.

Brandon Smith: Doesn't get roster spot
The Jets waived Smith on Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
Smith spent time in the Dallas and Arizona organizations prior to being signed by the Jets in early August, though he's yet to get into an NFL regular-season game. The receiver out of Iowa enjoyed a strong preseason for New York, catching all five of his targets for a team-leading 120 yards. That could help him land a spot on New York's practice squad if he clears waivers.
