Morgan was released from the Vikings' practice squad Friday.
Morgan joined Minnesota's practice squad in October before ultimately getting let go days later. However, he returned earlier in the week, presumably as the team looks for depth options with Kirk Cousins (Achilles) out for the year. It looks like they have opted to go in a different direction from the undrafted free agent.

Steelers' Tanner Morgan: Passes for 36 yards
Rotowire
Morgan completed five of eight pass attempts for 36 yards, no touchdowns and an interception while rushing twice for minus-1 yard during Friday's 27-17 preseason win over the Buccaneers.
Morgan joined the Steelers as an undrafted free agent during the offseason after five seasons at Minnesota. He was the last quarterback to see the field for Pittsburgh on Friday, and he had limited production. The Steelers also have Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph returning for 2023, so Morgan seems like a long shot to make the team's 53-man roster.
