Although the Pittsburgh Steelers' wide receiver plans at the NFL trade deadline completely fell flat, there is one All-Pro free agent the team could pursue who just received an important update about his return to the NFL.
According to Tyreek Hill's agent Drew Rosenhaus, the first-team All-Pro wide receiver is expected to be medically cleared in the next few weeks and would make for an excellent pickup after the Steelers failed to trade for a receiver at the deadline.
On @PatMcAfeeShow Tyreek Hill's agent @DrewJRosenhaus said Hill has not been medically cleared yet, but is expected to be medically cleared in a few weeks. Any team that doesn't land a WR, could be potentially interested in Hill as a free agent as an option.

Hill, who began his career
with the Kansas City Chiefs (2016–2021), also played for the Miami Dolphins (2022–2025), cementing himself as one of the league's most feared deep threats thanks to his game-changing speed. Unfortunately, Hill suffered a devastating knee injury with the Dolphins in September 2025 during Miami's Week 4 matchup against the New York Jets, where he was ruled out for the season and underwent season-ending surgery.
Hill also previously teased the Steelers as a potential trade landing spot back in January 2025, and a pairing with Aaron Rodgers in 2026 would be a much-welcomed move for Pittsburgh.
