A former punter of the Pittsburgh Steelers is looking for a new home.
The Buffalo Bills have waived former Pittsburgh Steelers punter Cameron Johnston from their injured reserve list, according to multiple reports.

The New York Giants have taken back one of the Pittsburgh Steelers wide receivers.
The New York Giants are signing wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins off the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic.
