Robert Woods apparently had a change of heart. Less than a week after accepting a spot on Pittsburgh's practice squad after failing to make the initial 53-man roster, the veteran receiver asked for his release, according to NFL Media . Pittsburgh subsequently released Woods.

Woods, 33, only wants to continue playing if he is on a team's active roster, per the report. The Steelers released Woods after signing a one-year, $2 million deal with the team back in April.
