The Steelers waived Williams on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports. Williams signed to the Steelers' practice squad at the end of August after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. However, he was added to the 53-man roster Sept. 18, and across his six regular-season appearances between Week 3 and 8, Williams played 104 snaps on special teams and five on offense. Assuming he clears waivers, Williams will look to catch on with a team in need of a tight end who can contribute on special teams.

Let go by Pittsburgh
The Steelers waived Williams on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports. Williams signed to the Steelers' practice squad at the end of August after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. However, he was added to the 53-man roster Sept. 18, and across his six regular-season appearances between Week 3 and 8, Williams played 104 snaps on special teams and five on offense. Assuming he clears waivers, Williams will look to catch on with a team in need of a tight end who can contribute on special teams.
Gets active roster spot
Williams was signed to the Steelers' 53-man roster from their practice squad Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports. Williams has been a member of the Steelers' franchise for the majority of the last two seasons, spending much of 2022 on the practice squad, while suiting up for 13 regular-season games in 2023. However, those games didn't lead to much offensive production as he saw just two targets and no catches. With MyCole Pruitt (knee) currently iffy for Week 3, Williams may see himself on the field again Sunday against the Chargers.
Sticks around in Pittsburgh
Williams signed with the Steelers' practice squad Thursday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports. Williams failed to make the Steelers' initial 53-man roster Tuesday, but he's sticking around in Pittsburgh after signing with the team's practice squad Thursday. The UT Martin product played 186 special-teams snaps across 13 outings with the Steelers last season, so he could definitely be elevated to the active roster at some point this year.
Doesn't make roster cut
Williams was waived by Pittsburgh on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports. Williams played 240 snaps (54 on offense, 186 on special teams) across 13 regular-season games for the Steelers in 2023. He wasn't able to record a catch across three preseason games, and he will be on the lookout for his next opportunity assuming he doesn't get picked up by another team off waivers.
Sees action in preseason opener
Williams (shoulder) played 10 offensive snaps during Friday's 20-12 preseason loss to the Texans. Williams suffered an AC sprain during practice in late July, but he was available for the Steelers' first preseason matchup. He wasn't targeted in the loss but will have two more opportunities during the preseason to make a case for a roster spot.
Back at camp
Williams (shoulder) returned to individual drills during Wednesday's camp session, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow reports. It doesn't seem as if Williams is completely health just yet, but he could be nearing a return to full participation after his individual work Wednesday. Expect the UT Martin product to fight for a depth role in the Steelers' tight end room as the preseason continues.
Suffers shoulder sprain
Williams is dealing with AC sprain that occurred on a diving catch attempt during practice, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin indicated Saturday that Williams will be out for "days," so the tight end could miss numerous practices and may not be ready for Pittsburgh's first preseason contest Aug. 9 versus Houston. Williams got into 13 regular-season contests with the Steelers last year but didn't log any catches and played primarily on special teams.
