PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers newcomers Mike Williams and Preston Smith are eager to hit the reset button with their new team. Pittsburgh acquired Williams from the New York Jets and Smith from the Green Bay Packers at the trade deadline. The veteran wide receiver had just 12 receptions with the Jets and found himself tumbling on the depth chart after the club brought in Davante Adams. Smith requested a trade from Green Bay earlier this season because the longtime edge rusher felt the team's new defensive approach didn't fit his skill set. Both Williams and Smith could play when Pittsburgh visits Washington in Week 10.
