Steelers WR Michael Pittman (Foot) Out vs. Patriots
Michael Pittman Jr. was downgraded to out with a foot injury after missing practice for two straight days, leaving Pittsburgh short-handed at receiver.
On Saturday, the Pittsburgh Steelers downgraded wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. to out for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots due to a foot injury, per communications director Burt Lauten.
After missing practice on Thursday and Friday, Pittman was initially listed as questionable before the Steelers moved him to the inactive list for the Patriots matchup.
During his Steelers debut last week, Pittman led the team with 58 receiving yards on three catches in the 20-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons.
Germie Bernard steps into Pittman's role on the depth chart, while Roman Wilson is also expected to earn increased snaps in the passing attack Sunday.
The New England Patriots also ruled out starting cornerback Carlton Davis with a neck injury, intensifying the matchup between Christian Gonzalez and Steelers receiver Metcalf.
