Wide receiver James Washington was activated from the reserve/covid-19 list Friday, reducing the number of Pittsburgh Steelers players on the list to two.

Washington was placed on the newly created list Aug. 2. Cornerback Justin Layne and running back Jaylen Samuels remain on the list.

Washington, who is entering his third NFL season, led the Steelers with 735 receiving yards in 2019. He had 44 catches and scored three touchdowns.

To make room for Washington on the training camp roster, linebacker John Houston was released. Houston was signed as an undrafted free agent in April out of USC.
