Steelers claim WR Miles Boykin off waivers

The Baltimore Ravens waived wide receiver Miles Boykin on Monday after they were unable to find a trade partner regarding his services.

Boykin didn't remain available for long and will be staying in the AFC North for the time being.

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported Tuesday afternoon that the Pittsburgh Steelers claimed Boykin off waivers. 

Boykin entered the NFL when the Ravens selected him in the third round of the 2019 draft but plummeted down the depth chart by the end of the 2021 season. As Myles Simmons noted for Pro Football Talk, Boykin finished this past campaign with just one six-yard reception. 

In total, the 25-year-old has tallied 33 catches for 470 yards and seven touchdowns across 40 regular-season games. 

Per Brandon Weigel of CBS Baltimore, the Ravens cleared an estimated $2.5M in salary-cap space by releasing Boykin. As things stand today, he'll be on track to catch passes thrown by quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, who joined the Steelers in free agency following the retirement of future Hall of Famer Ben Roethlisberger.
