Breaking News: Marquez Valdes-Scantling is Back in Black and Gold! The Steelers have officially signed wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to their practice squad, sparking excitement among fans eager to see him back on the field. This move reunites him with his former Green Bay Packers teammate, quarterback Aaron Rodgers – a partnership that once lit up the gridiron.
