There is, hypothetically, an opening for a job at wide receiver on the 53-man roster. The Pittsburgh Steelers only carried five last year, and they’re all back this year, but who knows if James Washington really wants to be traded, or how secure Ray-Ray McCloud’s job is. And there’s always the distinct possibility that they could carry a sixth.
While they didn’t draft another wide receiver or sign a veteran in free agency, they do have a number of young wideouts in camp who have at least flashed a time or two, such as Rico Bussey, Mathew Sexton, Tyler Simmons, Cody White, and perhaps especially Anthony Johnson, who first spent time with the Buccaneers and Chargers as an undrafted free agent out of Buffalo in 2019.
