The Cincinnati Bengals claimed rookie wide receiver Ke’Shawn Williams off waivers from the Pittsburgh Steelers, who waived him to make room for Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Williams, an undrafted free agent from Indiana, played in eight games for Pittsburgh, contributing on special teams with 18 kickoff returns for 425 yards (23.6 avg) and 11 punt returns for 112 yards (10.2 avg). He was released before Monday’s game and now joins the Bengals, who are 4-10 and set to face the Miami Dolphins. The move adds depth to Cincinnati’s wide receiver group and return capabilities following injuries.
