The Pittsburgh Steelers made some moves before the trade deadline. They grabbed a wide receiver for QB Russell Wilson like everyone wanted in New York Jets WR Mike Williams. They even addressed the defensive side of the ball with Green Bay Packers edge rusher Preston Smith, something that will make head coach Mike Tomlin happy.
We knew the Steelers wanted another wide receiver; that’s been no secret. The addition of a pass rusher may have been a little more unexpected. But Alex Highsmith missed time earlier this season, and Nick Herbig has been out since suffering a hamstring injury against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5.
