Pittsburgh Steelers

Michael Pittman Jr.

WR

Pittman is inching toward a return from a foot injury that has sidelined him since Week 4. He won't have his window to return from injured reserve opened prior to Sunday's game in Cincinnati, but a Week 11 return against the Eagles appears to be a realistic possibility.

Brandin Echols

CB

Echols missed the last two games before Pittsburgh's bye in Week 9 because of a hamstring injury, but it looks like he's on track to be available in Week 10. Through six games so far in 2026, a substantial majority of his snaps have come on special teams.

Doneiko Slaughter

CB

Slaughter was unable to play against the Browns in Week 8 due to a hamstring injury that prevented him from practicing. His ability to log a full session Wednesday puts him on track to play against the Bengals on Sunday, when he's expected to play mostly on special teams while providing the Steelers depth in the secondary.

Ben Skowronek

WR

Skowronek was sidelined by a calf injury for the Steelers' three games prior to the Week 9 bye. His full practice participation Wednesday indicates that he is fully recovered from the injury and will suit up for Sunday's contest against the Browns. Skowronek has three catches on four targets for 32 yards and a touchdown across five regular-season games.

DeShon Elliott

S

Elliott had no injury designation in practice Thursday after popping up as a limited participant in practice Wednesday. The 29-year-old has played just two games through nine weeks of the NFL regular season. He returned from injured reserve in Week 7, totaling two tackles (two solo) on the season.
