Mike Tomlin on expanding Mike Williams’s role: Keep watching

Pittsburgh: So, the Steelers just beat the Browns, but they did it without George Pickens. Coach Mike Tomlin is feeling pretty good about the other wide receivers stepping up. He wants everyone to trust that the team knows what they’re doing.

Tomlin mentioned that Pickens is likely out for the upcoming game against the Eagles due to a hamstring issue. He’s really optimistic about the group of wideouts they have. He specifically talked about Mike Williams, who scored a touchdown in his first game but then went quiet for a few games. However, he caught three passes against the Browns, which is a good sign.

When asked if Williams would take on a bigger role, Tomlin simply said, “keep watching.” He believes it’s just a matter of time before Williams makes a bigger impact. He’s been making plays in practice, and that usually means good things for game day.

The Eagles have a tough defense, so the Steelers will need several players to step up to secure a win. With Pickens out, Williams is definitely one of the key players to watch this weekend.
