Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Steven Sims has signed with the Arizona Cardinals on their practice squad after a tryout.
Sims inked a deal with the Seattle Seahawks in March but was unable to make their team. In addition to being a wide receiver, Sims is known for being a skilled punt returner.
Sims played in seven games but did not record a reception. He has seven kick returns for 195 yards and 16 punt returns for 99 yards. Sims added one rush for zero yards to his offensive numbers a year ago.
Sims broke into the NFL out of Kansas and earned his way onto the Washington Commanders ‘roster. However, the Steelers picked him up after that, and Sims was the team’s returner and slot receiver in the 2022 season.
Yet, they let him walk in the offseason, and Sims joined the Texans. He has been with the team since that time. Over his career, Sims has over 1700 return yards and added 78 receptions for 784 yards with seven total touchdowns.
Now, he will try to get into the Cardinals wide receiver room and get onto the field before the season ends after the Cardinals have torpedoed their season down the stretch.
