Steelers WR Michael Pittman (foot) is active for today’s game vs. the Bengals. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said this morning that Pittman is battling plantar fasciitis. Between that and a struggling Pittsburgh offense, Pittman would be a very shaky Week 3 fantasy start

Steelers WR Michael Pittman (foot) is expected to play vs. the Bengals today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Pittman was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that Pittman is dealing with plantar fasciitis, which is often an issue that lingers. We'll keep an eye on Pittman's usage and performance today, but we'd try to not use him in Week 3 fantasy lineups. He caught his only 3 targets for 58 yards in the opener before missing Week 2.

Steelers WR Michael Pittman (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Bengals. He seemingly has a good chance to play after getting in 3 limited practices this week. But between the injury and a struggling Pittsburgh offense, Pittman is not a recommended Week 3 fantasy start.

Steelers WR Michael Pittman (foot) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He was also limited last Wednesday before missing the final two practices of the week and the Patriots game. Pittman's availability for this Sunday's game vs. the Bengals remains uncertain, but he belongs on fantasy benches in a floundering Steelers offense.

The Steelers on Saturday downgraded WR Michael Pittman Jr. to out because of his foot injury. That leaves Pittsburgh without the guy who ran the second-most routes on the team in Week 1 and led squad with 58 receiving yards.

Steelers WR Michael Pittman (foot) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Patriots. He was limited in Wednesday’s practice and sidelined on Thursday and Friday. Already a fringe fantasy option, Pittman should now be parked on benches. His absence would leave more targets for WR D.K. Metcalf, who already saw 10 of them in the opener.

Steelers WR Michael Pittman (foot) did not practice on Thursday. That followed a limited workout on Wednesday. It's unclear if Pittman hurt his foot on Wednesday or is simply getting some mid-week rest. We'll know more when we get Pittsburgh's final injury report on Friday.

Steelers WRs D.K. Metcalf and Michael Pittman are on track to play in the opener vs. the Falcons, GM Omar Khan said Monday. Both guys missed most of August -- Pittman with a hamstring, Metcalf with an undisclosed injury -- but we never got a sense that either issue was serious. Pittsburgh's top 2 targets remain in WR3 territory in our rankings.

Steelers WR Michael Pittman is dealing with a "minor" hamstring injury, according to Penn Live's Nick Farabaugh. Pittman has been out for a week and a half but expects to be ready for Week 1, per Farabaugh.

Steelers WRs D.K. Metcalf and Michael Pittman will be "hard-pressed" to practice this week, HC Mike McCarthy said Saturday. Pittman went down with an apparent right leg injury a week ago, but we don't have any other details on his status. Metcalf's injury is a total mystery. We'll look for more info on both guys and let you know when they get back on the field. For now, we're not moving either in the WR rankings.

The Athletic's Mike DeFabo calls Steelers WR Roman Wilson a camp riser. "Through camp, he’s firmly in the WR3 role in three-receiver sets," DeFabo adds.

According to Steelers beat writer Mike DeFabo, rookie WR Germie Bernard “showed confident hands and good body control, especially near the sideline” this offseason. That's on brand for Bernard, who exited a four-year college career with a low 2.5% drop rate.

The Steelers and QB Aaron Rodgers have agreed to a one-year deal, according to multiple reports, with $22 million in guarantees and a max value of $25 million. Rodgers will now return for his second season in Pittsburgh and reunite with new HC Mike McCarthy for the first time since 2018. McCarthy served as Packers HC from 2006 -- the year after Green Bay drafted Rodgers -- until 2018, a span that included 11 seasons with Rodgers as the lead QB.
