The Steelers added WR Mike Williams via a trade from the Jets on Tuesday, giving Wilson another receiving option, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Wilson has fared well in his two starts for Pittsburgh, completing 36 of 57 (63.2 percent) passes for 542 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions while recording 10 yards and another TD on six carries. He will welcome a wide receiver onto the roster that's well suited to his strengths, namely his deep-ball acumen. Williams might need some time to acclimate to a new system, but he should soon join George Pickens and tight end Pat Freiermuth as the team's top downfield options in due time, which could boost Wilson's upside.
