PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers are making a change to their practice squad, signing former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Shaquan Davis and releasing inside linebacker Marcus Haynes, the team announced.
Davis started his NFL career as an undrafted free agent with the Saints in 2023 and spent his rookie season on the Saints practice squad. This past offseason, he signed with the Philadelphia Eagles, but eventually returned to New Orleans during training camp.
Davis spent his college football days at South Carolina State, where he finished his career with 934 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns. In 2022 during his final season, he totaled 23 receptions for 546 yards and five touchdowns.
The Steelers are looking for as much help at wide receiver as possible. With all wideouts outside of George Pickens accounting for two receptions for eight yards in the season opener, and rookie Roman Wilson still dealing with an ankle sprain, Pittsburgh will weigh all options each week.
The team is hopeful to see an uptick in Wilson’s progression this week, but it’s no guarantee he’ll play. Davis will have an opportunity to showcase his skills during the practice week, working alongside Quez Watkins, Ben Skowronek and Brandon Johnson, with the hopes of eventually earning a place on the 53-man roster.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A South Side bar owner says city and county leaders are looking to shut him down after a chaotic brawl seriously hurt a Pittsburgh police sergeant this weekend.
Security cameras caught the fight outside Oddballs over the weekend.
Sergeant Andrew Robinson has been with Pittsburgh police for 13 years. He oversees the South Side Entertainment Patrol. He tried to calm down a situation inside Oddballs this weekend and ended up in a fight that left him with a broken leg and ankle.
The South Side’s city councilperson is now calling for Oddballs to be shut down.
“I’m very appalled. I’m outraged that this establishment continues to behave this way. To invite a clientele where something like this could happen to our officer here,” says Bob Charland, District 3 councilperson.
The video shows a man in a shirt that had “security” on it and others dragging Robinson and a man fighting him back onto the sidewalk.
Other police officers soon rushed in.
He (Robinson) is like a brother to us. So, you are seeing your brother hurt, and if you watch the video, it looks like he tackles one of the people who pushed him down with a leg that is clearly out of place.”
Video shows Robinson holding onto 23-year-old Jonathan Morin, who was arrested and charged with aggravated assault. Police say the fight started inside the bar with a little pushing and shoving.
Councilperson Charland and other politicians are calling for the bar to be shut down.
“What we have done is called on the district attorney, LCE, the LCB, and Mayor Gainey’s Disruptive Properties Task Force to do something about this place. We would love to see it shut, but unfortunately, we don’t have the power to do that ourselves.”
Matthew Miklos and his parents own Oddballs.
He tells KDKA-TV that he got a call from Liquor Control Enforcement on Sunday. They said the district attorney’s office was looking to padlock the door.
He said they’ve spent $500,000 in security over the past four and a half years.
Miklos told KDKA-TV, “I do not know what else I can do besides rebranding the bar, but that will not solve these issues with the criminal element down in South Side. I am not the cause of the crime in the South Side or responsible for the actions of delinquents, and I am certainly not the only bar down there that caters to the crowd.”
KDKA-TV reached out to Mayor Gainey’s office for comment. His spokesperson told KDKA-TV, “The mayor is not available at this time.”
Police Chief Larry Scirotto also wasn’t available.
This Wednesday, there is a meeting with the bar owners, the district attorney, and other city and state agencies.
