The Cincinnati Bengals got active in the roster additions department on Tuesday ahead of the Week 16 encounter with the Miami Dolphins.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Bengals claimed wideout Ke'Shawn Williams off waivers from the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Bengals once again need depth at wideout with Charlie Jones struggling with an injury over the weekend and in the wake of cutting Jermaine Burton.

An undrafted free agent out of Indiana in 2025, Williams latched on with the Steelers and eventually made his way to the practice squad after final cuts. He was then promoted to the active roster in October, only to get cut on Monday.

Largely a returner, Williams joins the Bengals’ active roster and will get a chance to prove he belongs for the long-term into the offseason. He returned 18 kickoffs this year for 425 yards and 11 punts for 112 yards.
