The Pittsburgh Steelers have placed running back Boston Scott on injured reserve. The team acquired him for the practice squad on August 30.

In a corresponding move, Aaron Shampklin has been added to the practice squad. Shampklin originally joined the Steelers on a futures contract at the end of the 2023 season and was with the team throughout the offseason.

Shampklin appeared in all three preseason games, rushing for 40 yards and catching three passes for three yards. He was waived when rosters were trimmed to 53.

Shampklin had stints with the Los Angeles Chargers, Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys.
