Watkins is signing with the Steelers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

A 2020 sixth-round pick, Watkins made 25 starts for Philadelphia over the past four seasons but never saw more than 62 targets in a year. His 4.35 speed is his best trait, and he'll now join a Steelers team with only George Pickens entrenched as a starting wide receiver. Pittsburgh's other options at the position include Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin, Denzel Mims and Marquez Callaway, with more help possibly coming during the 2024 NFL Draft.

Watkins finished the year with 15 catches for 142 yards and one touchdown.

EDGE Analysis

Watkins averaged 38 catches for 501 yards over the previous two seasons, so his 2023 campaign counts as a clear disappointment. Hamstring issues limited him to nine games, but he also faced new competition from Olamide Zaccheaus and Julio Jones, which cut into a target share which was always going to small with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith on the roster.

Watkins caught eight of 11 targets for 93 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

With DeVonta Smith (ankle) inactive and A.J. Brown (knee) exiting early, Watkins emerged as the Eagles' top downfield option and led the team in catches, targets and receiving yards. The fourth-year wideout capped a season-best performance with a 16-yard TD grab from Marcus Mariota in the fourth quarter for Philly's only touchdown and Watkins' first score of the year. It's unclear if either Brown or Smith will be available for the Eagles' wild-card matchup with the Buccaneers next weekend, so Watkins could see an elevated role once again.

Watkins did not record a reception in Monday's loss to the Seahawks.

EDGE Analysis

Watkins was on the field for over half the Eagles' offensive snap, but Jalen Hurts looked his way just once and failed to complete the pass. Watkins has now gone catchless two weeks in a row and in four of his seven games in total this season.

Watkins was held without a catch or a target in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

Watkins has appeared in six games for the Eagles this season and has gone catchless three times. He wasn't the only Eagle who struggled to make an impact in Week 14, as Jalen Hurts completed just 18 passes, all of which went to A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith or Dallas Goedert.

Watkins caught three of four targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 42-19 loss to the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

Watkins got involved in his second game back from a hamstring injury after not being targeted in last week's win over Buffalo. The 25-year-old finished a distant third in wide-receiver targets behind A.J. Brown (13) and DeVonta Smith (11). Watkins figures to serve a similar role when the Eagles visit the Cowboys in Week 14 for Sunday Night Football.

Watkins returned from a hamstring injury Sunday against the Bills but did not receive a single target in the Eagles' overtime victory.

EDGE Analysis

Watkins stood a clear third on the wide receiver depth chart at the beginning of the season, but after missing five weeks with a hamstring injury, he may have fallen all the way down to fifth. His 16 offensive snaps trailed Olamide Zaccheaus' 18 by a narrow margin, with both wideouts seeing the field far less than Julio Jones (47 snaps), who was signed during Watkins' absence and appears to have a firm grip on the No. 3 job behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

Watkins (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

The fourth-year pro will be stepping on the field for the first time since Week 5 following a stint on injured reserve. During Watkins' time on the shelf, the Eagles inked multi-time Pro Bowler Julio Jones to operate as the No. 3 receiver, and although the veteran hasn't ben asked to do much behind starters A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, he could prevent Watkins from reclaiming his prior role for at least Sunday's contest.

The Eagles activated Watkins (hamstring) off injured reserve Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Watkins went on IR in mid-October after aggravating a hamstring injury Week 5 versus the Rams. The veteran receiver has played in just three games this season, catching four of five targets for 21 yards and returning one kickoff for 11 yards. Philadelphia signed Julio Jones during Watkins' absence, so if he plays Sunday against Buffalo, Watkins would likely slide in behind Jones, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith on the team's wide receiver depth chart.

The Eagles list Watkins (hamstring) as questionable to play Sunday against the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

Watkins had missed the Eagles' last five games with the hamstring injury before he was designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday. He proceeded to take part in all three of the Eagles' practices this week, though he was a limited participant on every occasion. In order for Watkins to be eligible to play Sunday, the Eagles would have to add him back to the 53-man roster before Saturday's 4 p.m. ET deadline for Week 12 roster moves. If the Eagles opt to hold off on activating Watkins this week, Julio Jones and Olamide Zaccheaus would likely share duties as the team's No. 3 receiver.
