The Steelers filled out their 10-man practice squad on Monday by signing receiver Johnny Holton.
In the preseason Holton had seven receptions for 167 yards and a touchdown. He also had four kickoff returns for 81 yards. In the preseason finale against Carolina he had three catches for 86 yards and a 31-yard touchdown reception.

He spent time on the Raiders active roster and practice squad. Holton had 11 receptions with the Raiders for 252 yards and three touchdowns. He also had six carries for 43 yards.
