Steelers' Mike Williams: Not targeted against Baltimore
Mike Williams wasn't targeted during Sunday's 18-16 win over the Ravens.Although Williams saw a slight increase in playing time during his second game with his new team, he didn't draw any targets in the narrow win. The 30-year-old reached the end zone late in his Pittsburgh Steelers debut last week, and he'll look to bounce back Thursday against Cleveland as he continues to compete for a role in Pittsburgh's offense.

Steelers' Mike Williams: Reaches end zone in team debut
Mike Williams secured his lone target for a 32-yard touchdown during Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders.Williams was on the field for just nine offensive snaps during his first game in a Pittsburgh Steelers uniform, but he made his presence felt by securing a go-ahead touchdown with 2:22 remaining in the fourth quarter. It was the first time he'd reached the end zone this season, after being shut out in nine games for the Jets, and his volume with the Steelers figures to grow as he gets more familiar with the playbook.

Steelers' Mike Williams: Set for Steelers debut
Mike Williams is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders.Williams was acquired by the Pittsburgh Steelers on Tuesday prior to the trade deadline, so there was some question of whether he'd be ready to suit up for his new team. Per Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Williams may not see a full complement of snaps, so he may not make much of a statistical impact in his debut with Pittsburgh.

Steelers' Mike Williams: Likely to play Sunday
Mike Williams, whom the Pittsburgh Steelers acquired in a trade with the Jets on Tuesday, is expected to suit up for his new team Sunday versus Washington, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Williams has had less than a full week to familiarize himself with Pittsburgh's offensive playbook, but he looks to have done enough to make his Steelers debut. The veteran wideout struggled in his nine games with New York prior to the trade, totaling just 12 catches on 21 targets for 166 yards and no touchdowns. Williams will look to resurrect his season as the Steelers' No. 2 receiver behind top wideout George Pickens.

Steelers' Mike Williams: Moving to Steel City
The Jets agreed to trade Mike Williams to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Tuesday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.Pittsburgh is sending a 2025 fifth-round pick to New York for the wide receiver's services, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Despite playing in all nine games this season, Williams wasn't able to develop chemistry with Aaron Rodgers, surpassing 50 receiving yards only once and scoring no touchdowns. Williams will team up with George Pickens at the top of the Steelers' WR depth chart.

Jets' Mike Williams: Limited to one catch Thursday
Mike Williams secured one of two targets for six yards in the New York Jets' 21-13 win over the Texans on Thursday night.Williams once again struggled for relevancy in the Jets' air attack, even on a night where Davante Adams missed significant time during the second half for a concussion check. Williams has been the subject of trade rumors as Tuesday's deadline approaches, and the fact he's had no more than one catch in any of his last four games seems to cement the notion his best fit may be somewhere outside the Jets organization.

Jets' Mike Williams: Blanked in No. 3 WR role
Mike Williams wasn't targeted in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.Williams has clearly lost the trust of Aaron Rodgers, as Williams played 58 percent of offensive snaps in the absence of Allen Lazard (chest) but wasn't thrown to at all. Xavier Gipson got the only target by a New York Jets wide receiver other than Garrett Wilson or Davante Adams, and Gipson made the most of that opportunity by scoring a one-yard touchdown. Williams is unlikely to play a significant role in Week 9 against the Texans, if he isn't traded by then.

Jets' Mike Williams: Should help replace Lazard
Mike Williams is expected to reclaim a regular spot in three-receiver sets for the New York Jets in Sunday's game against the Patriots with Allen Lazard (chest) listed as doubtful for the contest, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.While both Garrett Wilson and Lazard were healthy last week, Williams ended up seeing a steep reduction in playing time in Sunday's loss to the Steelers as the newly acquired Davante Adams made his Jets debut. Williams played just 33 percent of snaps -- his lowest share since Week 1 -- and finished with one catch for 15 yards on two targets. Though he's poised to regain snaps Sunday, Williams is still expected to rank well behind Adams and Wilson in terms of target share.

Jets' Mike Williams: One catch in limited role
Mike Williams caught one of two targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the Steelers.The former Charger dipped to No. 4 on the New York Jets' wide receiver depth chart after Tuesday's acquisition of Davante Adams, and Williams was on the field for just one third of the team's snaps on offense. To his credit, he kept his focus after being scapegoated for Aaron Rodgers' game-sealing interception in a Week 6 loss to the Bills, and Williams' lone catch against the Steelers was a fourth-down conversion while the game was still within reach. Williams is a candidate to be dealt before the Nov. 5 trade deadline.

Jets' Mike Williams: Set to suit up against Steelers
Mike Williams (personal) was a full participant in practice Friday and will play Sunday against the Steelers, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.Williams has twice run the wrong route in crucial situations this season, resulting in a pair of game-losing Aaron Rodgers interceptions for the 2-4 New York Jets. After New York traded for Davante Adams on Tuesday, there has been speculation that the team is looking to move Williams, which was intensified by Williams' non-participation in practice Wednesday and Thursday for personal reasons. Nonetheless, coach Jeff Ulbrich said Friday that Williams will be part of the team's game plan Sunday, per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. Even if he has a role Sunday, Williams is unlikely to be a significant contributor, with Adams, Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard ahead of him on the wide receiver depth chart.
