The Pittsburgh Steelers are trying to work through their issues before it’s too late and their drought of playoff wins stretches yet another year. Unfortunately, the Steelers are heading into their Wild Card matchup against the Baltimore Ravens on the wrong end of a four-game losing streak.
A glaring concern for Pittsburgh all season has been the depth of its receiving corps. It’s a concern that was brought to the forefront after top receiving threat George Pickens was forced to miss time with a hamstring injury, causing the offense’s production to sputter.
Now, with the playoffs encroaching, Pittsburgh is making a change to its receiver’s room in hopes of getting things ironed out in time to make a deep playoff run.
“We have released WR Scotty Miller from the Active Roster,” the team reported from its official Twitter account.

Fans reacted to the cut on social media.
“Makes too much sense to be Roman Wilson. Tomlin won’t do that though. He’s always right. I bet it’s OL,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“Roman Wilson probably took his place on the roster,” added one fan.
“I believe that Scotty Miller had at least one real good game this season. He was on a SB team. I’m sorry to see him go and wish him the best.” added someone else.
“That’s tough news for Scotty Miller. Hopefully, he finds a new opportunity soon. Best of luck to him!” one fan added.
It’ll be interesting to see if the move plays dividends for the Steelers.
