The Pittsburgh Steelers signed former All-Pro wide receiver/kick returner
Jamal Agnew to their practice squad on Tuesday, according to a source. Agnew had a tryout for the Steelers on Monday, and apparently they liked what they saw and added him as depth for the receiving corps and return group on special teams. The 29-year-old Agnew suffered a season-ending leg injury last year while playing in his third season with the Jacksonville Jaguars and finished with 14 catches on 21 targets for 225 yards and a touchdown in 11 games (one start). He also returned 14 punts for 144 yards and 15 kickoffs for 391 total yards. Agnew was a Pro Bowler for Jacksonville in 2023 and is expected to compete for return duties on special teams in Pittsburgh. He can remain on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues, though.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have worked out free-agent wide receiver
Jamal Agnew. The former Jacksonville Jaguar has made his living as a receiver, runner, and kick returner. Agnew has never played a large role in an offense but he is a solid gadget player who can line up all over the field. He would be a solid kick returner opposite running back
Cordarrelle Patterson as well. Should he sign with the Steelers, Agnew will not have fantasy appeal. However, he would be a welcome addition to that offense.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that wide receiver
Jamal Agnew (leg) suffered a lower-leg fracture in the Week 17 win over the Carolina Panthers and will miss the rest of the season. Agnew caught both of his targets for 53 yards in the 26-0 win before suffering the major injury. The Jaguars receiving depth is extremely thin heading into a must-win Week 18 game against the Tennessee Titans this Sunday.
Christian Kirk (core) is already out for the year, and
Zay Jones (hamstring, knee) just missed his eighth game of the year this past Sunday. The 28-year-old Agnew finishes the year with only 14 receptions for 225 yards and one touchdown. If Jones cannot return in Week 18, rookie
Parker Washington and
Elijah Cooks will see more opportunities in the passing game behind
Calvin Ridley and tight end
Evan Engram.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Jamal Agnew (ankle) exited during the first half of Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers and is officially questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had caught two passes for 53 yards. Jacksonville is already shorthanded at wide receiver with
Christian Kirk (core) and
Zay Jones (hamstring, knee) sidelined, so losing Agnew is far from ideal. In his absence,
Parker Washington should earn more snaps alongside
Calvin Ridley.
