  "account": "It has been nearly a month since the Pittsburgh Steelers signed wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to their practice squad. Despite quarterback Aaron Rodgers expressing a desire to see the veteran join the field, he remains on the sidelines for now. Valdes-Scantling did not get activated before the Steelers' Sunday night road game against the Cincinnati Bengals, which carries AFC North title implications. Before the Steelers' 27-6 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 8, coach Mike McCarthy praised Valdes-Scantling, noting his history with both Rodgers and the veteran receiver. Valdes-Scantling played in five games for the Steelers last season, catching 10 passes for 80 yards and a touchdown. He previously played for the Dallas Cowboys but was released in August and later joined the Los Angeles Chargers. After the Chargers cut him, Valdes-Scantling rejoined the Steelers, who have a significantly different wide receiver corps compared to last season.",
