TUESDAY: The move is now official. The Steelers announced they have added the fourth-year wideout to their practice squad. They will be the former Bears second-rounder’s third team in four months.
MONDAY: Anthony Miller won’t be joining the Jaguars practice squad after all. The veteran receiver “plans to sign” with the Steelers practice squad, according to Aaron Wilson (via Twitter).

NFL Network’s Aditi Kinkhabwala clarifies (on Twitter) that Miller has yet to sign a contract and will take his physical with Pittsburgh tomorrow. If all goes well, it sounds like the receiver will end up joining the organization.
Earlier today, reports indicated that Miller was set to sign with the Jaguars’ practice squad, and the wideout even tweeted “Duval” over the weekend (per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport on Twitter). Miller was expected to eventually take the roster spot that was previously held by wideout DJ Chark, who suffered a fractured ankle during Week 4. Now, he’ll eventually be taking the roster spot previously held by JuJu Smith-Schuster, who is likely done for the season with a shoulder injury.
Miller was cut by the Texans late last week, just months after acquiring him from the Bears via trade. He finished his stint in Houston with five catches for 23 yards and one touchdown. The 2018 second-round pick flashed potential at times but generally disappointed during his stint in Chicago. In 2020, he took 49 catches for just 485 yards, and his rookie season (33 catches, 423 yards, seven touchdowns) still stands as his best season.
Link goes to wrong Anthony Miller. That’s the one from the 90s
He was fun to watch.
No it’s the right one. Pitt has decided to recruit players closer to Big Ben’s age so he can relate more to them.
Lol….and I’m a steeler fan.
Old lurch Brady calls Ben “whippersnapper.”
It’s not as easy to recruit in Jacksonville as it was in Columbus.
Urban probably wants him to have to sit out a year
Good move for the Stillers. Low risk, (potential) high reward move.
Good Vet depth. And, who knows? Maybe the light will come on under Tomlin?
Most likely cut again in 2 weeks or put on IR with a brain.
If Ebron has asted this long, Miller has a chance to stick as well.
Allegheny.
