Pittman was listed as questionable on Wednesday after a limited practice, but his status changed when he did not practice Thursday or Friday.
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has been officially downgraded to out with a foot injury for their Sunday road game against the New England Patriots. Pittman was initially listed as questionable on Wednesday after participating in a limited practice, but his status worsened when he did not practice on Thursday or Friday.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have decided to downgrade their wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. to out for Sunday's matchup against the New England Patriots due to his foot injury. As per the Steelers' depth chart, Germie Bernard will take over Pittman's role. The absence of Pittman is expected to provide more target opportunities for DK Metcalf.
In his home debut against the Atlanta Falcons last week, Pittman caught three passes for 58 yards. He was traded to the Steelers after Alec Pierce, the Colts wide receiver, opted out of his contract, securing a $29 million per season deal with the Steelers.
