Former Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams has a visit scheduled with the Steelers on Friday according to Adam Schefter.

After spending nine years with the Panthers, Williams was released on Tuesday. The 32 year old running back was limited to 6 games last season, but has rushed for a total of 6,846 yards over the course of his career. He also knows Steelers QB coach Randy Fichtner from his days at Memphis.

With Bell facing a potential 2 week suspension to open the 2015 season, bringing on a back like Williams makes a lot of sense.
