The Dallas Cowboys are signing WR James Washington to a one-year deal.

The addition of Washington gives Dallas a wideout with more work on the field than incumbent Noah Brown and helps fill out their three-wide sets until Michael Gallup returns. Washington has late-round value so long as the Cowboys do not add a receiver earlier in the NFL Draft.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have activated WR James Washington from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

The Steelers are hurting for pass catchers, but the good news is Claypool is not lost for the season.

Mike Tomlin said that his “heart aches” for JuJu Smith-Schuster, who is playing on a one-year deal, but that he is also excited about the “big opportunities” that now exist for players like James Washington, Ray-Ray McCloud, and Cody White to make their mark on offense.

As we've said earlier this week and as the story pointed out, Washington could get the first crack at the job. McCloud did have one catch for a yard in Week 5.

Rapoport said the procedure was successful, but as he also added it's a tough loss for a Pittsburgh offense that was maybe showing signs of hitting its stride last week in a win over Denver. Johnson and Claypool could see more targets as a result, at least until Washington can return as the team's WR3. More targets for Najee Harries and the tight ends could also be in the mix for the Steelers offense.

Steelers expected to put JuJu Smith-Schuster on injured reserve and are fearful he will miss rest of the season after injuring his shoulder vs Broncos, per sources.

Claypool stood out this past week in the Steelers win, but he and Johnson would likely see a bump in targets without Smith-Schuster in the lineup. Washington is dealing with a groin injury but it's possible he takes on a bigger role at some point, although he was reportedly unhappy and requested to be traded earlier in the year. McCloud had one catch for a yard this past week. The team has shown they're not afraid to use Harris in the passing game so it's possible he absorbs more targets as well.
