Anthony McFarland: Let go from Miami's taxi squad
McFarland was released from the Dolphins' practice squad Thursday.
After he was unsuccessful in making the Dolphins' 53-man roster Tuesday, McFarland opted to return to Miami's practice squad one day later. It appears his services are no longer needed, however, and the 2020 fourth-round pick out of Maryland will now explore his next options. McFarland appeared in three regular-season games for the Steelers in 2023, during which he caught two passes for 11 yards, before also suiting up for the UFL's San Antonio Brahmas this past spring.

The fifth-year wide receiver out of Maryland failed to make the Dolphins' initial 53-man roster Tuesday, but he's been brought back as a practice-squad player. McFarland appeared in three games for the Steelers in 2023, catching both of his targets for 11 yards while playing just six offensive snaps. However, he was saw extended opportunity this past spring with the UFL's San Antonio Brahmas, rushing for 192 yards and adding another 207 through the air while recording four total touchdowns.

Anthony McFarland: Released by the Dolphins
McFarland was released by the Dolphins on Tuesday.
Despite signing with the Dolphins just over a week ago, McFarland found himself on the outside of the 53-man roster Tuesday during final cuts. The running back was drafted by the Steelers in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, and he appeared in 17 games over his four seasons with Pittsburgh. McFarland had an uphill battle for securing a roster spot within the Dolphins crowded running back room, and he'll now look for another opportunity elsewhere in 2024.

Pittsburgh activated McFarland (knee) from its injured reserve list Monday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Steelers' Anthony McFarland: Goes on IR
McFarland (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday.
McFarland had already been ruled out for Monday's game against the Browns after not being able to practice all week. However, his shift to IR wasn't necessarily expected. The move will now leave the Steelers without their No. 3 running back and kick returner. Practice squad call-up Qadree Ollison and Gunner Olszewski are expected to handle those respective roles in Week 2.

McFarland (knee) did not participate at practice Friday ahead of Monday's game versus Cleveland, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Steelers' Anthony McFarland: Logs DNP
McFarland (knee) did not practice Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
McFarland may be in danger of missing the team's divisional clash Monday against the Browns. However, with an extra day before the game, the Maryland product will have additional time to recover before kickoff. If he were to miss, the impact may be greater in the return game as opposed to the backfield, as the 2020 fourth-round selection saw just five snaps on offense in Week 1.

Steelers' Anthony McFarland: Logs two touches Sunday
McFarland secured both of his targets for 11 yards during the Steelers' 30-7 loss to San Francisco on Sunday.
McFarland played just five offensive snaps during Sunday's regular-season opener, but he still managed to draw two targets in the passing game. As long as Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren are healthy this year, it should be difficult for McFarland to carve out a fantasy-relevant role.

Steelers' Anthony McFarland: Stands apart with speed
Coach Mike Tomlin recently told reporters that McFarland has "a distinguishing trait" and "won more in space than others" during training camp.
McFarland looked to be the No. 3 running back throughout preseason and ended up landing that job on the initial 53-man roster. His 4.44 speed may have stood out among a position group that otherwise lacked breakaway speed, but McFarland nonetheless figures to start the year with minimal involvement in the offense behind Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren.
