The Steelers cut Powell from the practice squad Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was a short stint for Powell, who signed with the practice squad Nov. 25 and was not elevated for last Sunday's loss against the Bills. The move was coupled with the re-signing of defensive back Daequan Hardy. Hardy will see his second stint on the Steelers this season after previously being signed to the practice squad Nov. 4. Powell will now go on waivers and if he clears them he will become a free agent.

The Steelers signed Powell to the practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Powell briefly spent time with the Texans over the summer but has been out of work since being cut by Houston prior to Week 1. A fifth-round pick by the Chiefs in 2021, Powell has appeared in just three career regular-season games but didn't see a single target in the pass game.

The Texans waived Powell on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
After being drafted by Kansas City in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Powell has had a hard time finding opportunities in the league, as he's played in only three regular-season games (all in 2022). The Clemson product won't make Houston's initial 53-man roster despite shining in his lone preseason contest with the club, catching six of seven targets for 63 yards Saturday versus Detroit.

The Texans signed Powell on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Powell was one of two wideouts signed by Houston, which also inked Juwann Winfree. Both receivers join the team, after the Texans traded John Metchie to the Eagles. Powell, 27, has spent time with the Chiefs, Seahawks and played for the DC Defenders of the United Football League. He's appeared in three NFL games and did not accumulate any stats.

The Seahawks waived Powell on Friday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Powell spent the second half of the 2024 regular season on the Seahawks' practice squad, and he was signed to a reserve/future contract in early January despite never being elevated to the active roster. Assuming he clears waivers, the 2021 fifth-round pick will look to catch on with another team looking to add depth to its wide-receiver corps.

The Seahawks signed Powell to a reserve/future contract Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Powell ended the season on the Seahawks' practice squad after being cut by the Chiefs on Oct. 22. He last saw NFL regular-season action in 2022 with Kansas City, during which he played 31 snaps (three on offense, 28 on special teams) across three games but didn't show up on the box score otherwise.

The Seahawks signed Powell to the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Powell, a 2021 fifth-round pick, hasn't been elevated for a single game this season (he was previously with the Chiefs' practice squad), but he would be a candidate to do so if the Seahawks need to add depth to the wide receiver corps.

Powell was released from the Chiefs' practice squad on Tuesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Powell failed to make Kansas City's final 53-man roster during training camp, but he ultimately returned to the practice unit on Oct. 22. His exit after nearly one month with the team was a corresponding move in order to add fellow pass catcher Tyquan Thornton. The 2021 fifth-round pick will now be on the lookout for a new opportunity.

The Chiefs signed Powell to the practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 2021 fifth-round pick spent all of last season on the Chiefs' practice squad, but he was waived in late August after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Powell will be available for an elevation to the active roster should Kansas City need him in a special teams role on game day.

EDGE Analysis
Since being drafted by Kansas City in the fifth round back in 2021, Powell has appeared in just three regular-season games and played just three total offensive snaps. He could find his way back onto the practice squad at some point.
