Giants Release Former Steelers WR
PITTSBURGH -- Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Gunner Olszewski is back on the open market after being released by the New York Giants after just one game, according to ESPN's Field Yates.
Olszewski signed to the Giants 53-man roster from their practice squad in Week 8, making his debut as a punt returner for New York. He fielded six punts for 56 yards, with his longest return being 15 yards. He didn't play any offensive snaps.
The former All-Pro return man will now look for another NFL home, his third of the season. He could be signed at any time without passing through waivers, and is an option to return to the Giants practice squad as well.
Pittsburgh released Olszewski in Week 7 after activating Diontae Johnson from Injured Reserve. He was quickly signed by the Giants, and could be a quick signing as a free agent again due to his success as a returner in the NFL.
