The Steelers are among the teams in the wide receiver market ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline, with Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. and Colts WR Josh Downs the “two key names,” ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported. “I expect one or both to be moved,” Fowler wrote, naming Kansas City, Pittsburgh and San Francisco among the teams in the market and adding that Titans WR Calvin Ridley “is considered a backup option for teams.” Pittsburgh has WRs Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson on injured reserve, and WR DK Metcalf ranks 22nd in the NFL in catches and 26th in receiving yards.
