Steelers Sign WR James Shaw, Waive WR Danny Coale

The Steelers have signed former Carolina Panthers and Pittsburgh Power wide receiver James Shaw. WR Danny Coale has been waived/injured.

Coale was Tunch Ilkin’s son in law. There is no word on the nature of his injury. According to Bob Labriola, Coale had a displaced fracture in one of his fingers which required surgery. Essentially, a displaced fracture is a fracture that changes the alignment or rotation of the bone(s). Coale was originally drafted by the Cowboys in the 5th round of the 2012 draft. He’ll most likely clear waivers and go the injured reserve list until the team reaches an injury settlement with him.

James Shaw is 5’11”, 195 lbs. He was signed by the Carolina Panthers as an UDFA last year and was with them through training camp. He played 15 snaps against the Steelers in preseason last summer, and had a few catches. He was signed to the Panthers practice squad after the season began, but was released shortly after.

Shaw played in 8 games for Pittsburgh’s AFL franchise this year. He had 21 receptions for 192 yards and 3 touchdowns. Shaw also saw time as a kick returner averaging 19.7 yards per return. Here’s a couple recent practice videos highlighting Shaw’s route running and pass catching abilities. He’s wearing #17.
