Rader signed a reserve/future contract with the Steelers on Monday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Rader spent most of the season on the Steelers' practice squad, though he was let go briefly during November. The 24-year-old is still looking to make his NFL debut since going undrafted out of Youngstown State in 2018.
Rader was released by the Steelers on Wednesday.
The decision to release Rader was made in order to make room for J.C. Hassenauer. Rader will now hope to find a home elsewhere, but he may have to wait until next season to do so. The 24-year-old tight end has not appeared in a game in 2019.
Rader was cut by the Steelers on Saturday, Josina Anderson of ESPN reports.
Rader has spent time with both the Steelers and Packers since going undrafted out of Youngstown State in 2018. He'll now look for a chance elsewhere in the league.
