Steelers Now
The Baltimore Ravens released former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Anthony Miller from their practice squad, according to the NFL transactions page for Wednesday, Sept. 24.
Miller, 30, had been with the Ravens since August of last year. He spent the 2024 season bouncing between the active roster and the practice squad in Baltimore. Miller appeared in two games, making one catch for 16 yards. He also played in two playoff games, with four receptions for 28 yards in the postseason — including a three-catch game in the Ravens Wild Card win over the Steelers on Jan. 11.
He was re-signed by Baltimore for the 2025 season, released as part of the final roster cuts in August, and returned to the practice squad the next day, but was cut to make room for defensive tackles Taven Bryan and Josh Tupou on Wednesday, as the Ravens try to deal with an injury to star defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike.
Before signing with the Ravens, Miller spent some time with the Kansas City Chiefs during the 2024 offseason. He signed a reserve/future contract with the club on Jan. 23, 2024, but was released on May 3.
Miller had stints with the San Francisco 49ers and Indianapolis Colts in 2023 after being released by the Steelers that June. Miller dealt with a hamstring injury throughout OTAs and minicamp, severely limiting his availability throughout the offseason programs before his release.
He first joined the Steelers in 2021, playing in one game as a practice squad elevation. He re-signed with the team in 2022 and was in the midst of a strong training camp when an injury during practice on Aug. 11 ended his season.
The Steelers brought Miller back again on a one-year contract for 2023, and he was expected to compete to be the starting slot wide receiver. But the team traded for Allen Robinson II to fill that role just before the 2023 NFL Draft.
Miller was originally a second-round pick of the Chicago Bears in the 2018 NFL Draft and spent his first three NFL seasons in Chicago, where he caught passes from former Steelers backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky and played with wide receiver Allen Robinson.
With the Bears from 2018-20, Miller played in 47 games and made 17 starts. He caught 134 passes for 1,564 yards and 11 touchdowns, while averaging 7.3 yards per target. In 2021, Miller was traded from the Bears to the Houston Texans in July. He played in two games with Houston, making five catches for 23 yards and a touchdown, before being released on Oct. 6.
