The Pittsburgh Steelers have cut ties with quarterback Logan Woodside, they announced on Tuesday. Woodside was signed after Skylar Thompson suffered a hamstring injury, and now it seems that either Thompson or rookie Will Howard are on the mend and ready to return.
Woodside was with the team during the preseason while Will Howard was injured. Howard is currently on injured reserve after breaking a bone in his hand.
Woodside finished 8 of 15 with 83 passing yards and one interception and no touchdowns as the third quarterback in every game.
The Steelers signed him with his experience in offensive coordinator Arthur Smith’s scheme, but Woodside’s struggles led to him getting his release.
Woodside, a University of Toledo graduate, was a seventh-round pick by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2018 NFL Draft.
He played for Smith in Tennessee while with the Titans, and spent four seasons from 2019 to 2022 in Nashville. Smith then linked up with him again in Atlanta, where he remained from the end of 2022 through 2023. Woodside returned to Cincinnati in 2024.
The Steelers have one active roster spot open and still have another spot on their practice squad to fill after the release.
