11 months agoFormer Atlanta Falcons free-agent wide receiver
Scotty Miller is reuniting with Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith on an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday, according to a source. Smith was the head coach in Atlanta to begin last season before getting fired. In 17 games with the Falcons last year, Miller caught 11 of his 16 targets for 161 yards and two touchdowns. While he will reunite with Smith, the 26-year-old pass-catcher will merely operate as receiving depth in Pittsburgh behind
George Pickens,
Van Jefferson, rookie
Roman Wilson and
Calvin Austin III. The 26-year-old speedster has a total of 85 catches on 144 targets for 1,085 receiving yards and six touchdowns in 67 games (eight starts) over his five seasons in the NFL. He was originally a sixth-round pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2019 out of Bowling Green.

2 years agoThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers are not expected to re-sign impending free-agent wide receivers
Julio Jones,
Breshad Perriman or
Scotty Miller, according to a source. Veterans such as running back
Giovani Bernard, tight end
Kyle Rudolph and safeties Logan Ryan and Keanu Neal are also not expected to return. Jones is the biggest name of the group. The seven-time Pro Bowler just finished up his 12th year in the NFL and looked close to finished while continue to battle lower-body injuries. He played in only 10 games for the second straight season and compiled only 24 catches on 43 targets for 299 yards and two touchdowns for Tampa. With Jones likely out of the picture in 2023,
Russell Gage could once again become a nice sleeper pick in draft, depending on what happens with quarterback
Tom Brady.

Breshad Perriman (knee) and
Scotty Miller are both inactive on Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs. Perriman came into the Week 4 contest doubtful to play, while Miller will be a healthy scratch with
Chris Godwin (hamstring) and
Julio Jones (knee) returning to action. Tight end
Kyle Rudolph will also be a healthy scratch for another game, while left tackle Donovan Smith (elbow) is active for the first time since getting injured in the season opener. Quarterback
Tom Brady will have his top three receivers back for the first time since Week 1, and he'll need them to keep up with the Chiefs explosive offense.

3 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Scotty Miller (calf) was a full participant in practice this week and could have an expanded role against the Green Packers in Week 3. He was dealing with a calf issue, but should play after practicing in full this week.
Mike Evans (suspension) and
Chris Godwin (hamstring) have been ruled out, while
Breshad Perriman (knee),
Russell Gage (knee), and
Julio Jones (knee) are all questionable. The 25-year-old caught three of eight targets for 34 yards while taking one carry for eight yards in the Week 2 win over the New Orleans Saints. Miller could be an option in deep-league formats if Perriman, Gage, or Jones is inactive.
