Per multiple reports, including Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, the Pittsburgh Steelers have waived wide receiver Denzel Mims.
Mims joined the Steelers practice squad last October and was signed to a reserve/futures contract in January.
The 6-foot-3 Mims, drafted out of Baylor in 2020, hasn’t done much in his three-year career. His first season with the Jets produced 357 yards on 23 receptions. Overall, he’s logged just 676 yards in 30 games (15 starts) and never scored a touchdown.
To cut a player at a position of need, the Steelers have something up their sleeve. With the UFL season done, options for Pittsburgh to snag a conditioned receiver are out there.
