Steelers' Jonnu Smith: Returns to practice
Smith (knee) returned to practice Saturday, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
Smith left practice early Aug. 5 and hasn't done much since then, but his return for the first practice after Pittsburgh's final preseason game suggests he's on track to play Week 1 against the Jets. Uncertainty about his role remains the larger concern for fantasy, with Pat Freiermuth offering tough competition for playing time in single-TE formations.

Steelers' Derrick Harmon: MCL sprain confirmed
Harmon is expected to be out 4-to-6 weeks with an MCL sprain, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Because Harmon picked up the injury during Pittsburgh's final preseason game at Carolina, there's optimism that he may have to miss only two or three regular-season games. As a result, it's not anticipated that he'll be placed on the Steelers' injured reserve list. Once available, he projects to play a significant role on Pittsburgh's defensive line alongside Cameron Heyward and Keeanu Benton.

Steelers' Derrick Harmon: Expected to begin year on IR
Harmon (knee) is believed to have sustained an MCL sprain during Thursday's preseason win over the Panthers and is expected to start the regular season on IR, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Harmon will only have to miss the first four games of the regular season if Pittsburgh places him on IR with a return designation on the final cutdown day for the 53-man roster. The rookie first-round pick was carted off the field during Thursday's preseason win. Once fully recovered, Harmon will resume pushing for starting reps at defensive end opposite veteran Cameron Heyward, looking to bolster a pass-rush unit led by T.J. Watt.

Steelers' Darius Slay: Logs preseason reps
Slay (ankle) recorded one assisted tackle during the Steelers' 19-10 preseason win over the Panthers on Thursday.
Slay played only nine defensive snaps Thursday, the same total as fellow starting cornerbacks Joey Porter (hand) and Jalen Ramsey, but that's enough to confirm that he's fully recovered from the ankle issue that forced him to depart practice early in mid-August. The 34-year-old inked a one-year contract with Pittsburgh earlier this offseason and is set to kick off the regular season on Sunday, Sept. 7 versus Justin Fields and the Jets as a starting outside cornerback across from Porter.

Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Minimal playing time Thursday
Skowronek (toe) played two snaps on special teams during Pittsburgh's 19-10 preseason win over the Panthers on Thursday.
Skowronek is back to full health after having sat out the Steelers' second preseason matchup due to a toe injury, but he didn't get any opportunities on offense during the exhibition finale. The 28-year-old wideout is competing to hang on to a reserve role as next week's cut-downs to a 53-man roster approach.

Steelers' Joey Porter: Plays nine snaps Thursday
Porter (hand) played nine defensive snaps during Thursday's preseason win over the Panthers.
Porter had and the first-team defense had their reps limited Thursday, so he and fellow starting cornerbacks Darius Slay (ankle) and Jalen Ramsey were all limited to just nine snaps. That activity confirms, though, that Porter has fully recovered from the hand injury that hampered him earlier in training camp. Pittsburgh's secondary unit looks like one of the best in the league and is slated to enter Week 1 against the Jets on Sunday, Sept. 7 in good health.

Steelers' Scotty Miller: Effective in exhibition victory
Miller secured all three of his targets for 82 yards during the Steelers' 19-10 preseason win over Carolina on Thursday.
Miller capped off an impressive preseason Thursday, as he recorded at least 38 receiving yards in each of his three appearances. In total, he secured all nine of his targets for 167 yards. Although the Steelers rested Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf throughout the preseason, it's possible that Miller's production earns him some playing time once the regular season gets underway, especially if the team doesn't acquire another receiver.

Steelers' Lance McCutcheon: Finds end zone in preseason finale
McCutcheon secured three of four targets for 52 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's 19-10 preseason win over the Panthers.
After being held without a catch during last week's exhibition matchup, McCutcheon ended the preseason on a high note Thursday, and he recorded the team's lone touchdown in the victory. Despite his performance Thursday, the 26-year-old seems like a long shot to make the Steelers' 53-man roster.

Steelers' Mason Rudolph: Struggles in preseason start
Rudolph completed six of eight passes for 36 yards, with no touchdowns and one interception, in a 19-10 preseason loss to Carolina on Thursday.
The Steelers played most of their starters for three drives, but they held out QB Aaron Rodgers and WR DK Metcalf, giving Rudolph a chance to play with the first-team offense and throw to a rotating cast of wide receivers. Rudolph failed to produce even a field goal attempt on three drives, while fellow Steelers quarterback Skylar Thompson concluded his strong preseason with 152 yards and a TD on 13 pass attempts Thursday night. Rudolph was considered safe in his backup job earlier this summer, especially after sixth-round pick Will Howard suffered a hand injury, but the Steelers may now want to keep Thompson around or even consider moving him ahead of Rudolph. Either way, Aaron Rodgers will start Week 1 against the Jets.

Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Catches two passes
Freiermuth caught both of his targets for six yards in Thursday's 19-10 preseason win over Carolina.
With Jonnu Smith still sidelined by a knee injury that the Steelers consider minor, Freiermuth didn't have much competition for first-team TE snaps on the first three drives. He suited up along with most other starters, although QB Aaron Rodgers and WR DK Metcalf were held out ahead of a Week 1 matchup with the Jets. The fantasy outlook for Freiermuth was more promising before Pittsburgh traded for Smith this summer, but Freiermuth may still get most of the work in clear passing situations.

Steelers' Kaleb Johnson: Ends preseason on high note
Johnson took five carries for 24 yards and one catch for two yards in Thursday's 19-10 preseason win over the Panthers.
Johnson came in at the start of the third drive, after Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell were done playing (but before the first-string offensive linemen were removed). The rookie had gains of seven and eight yards on his carries behind the starting O-line, and he didn't play at all after halftime. It was a nice finish to the preseason, with back-to-back solid outings after struggling in Pittsburgh's opener, but Johnson won't necessarily have a large role come Week 1 against the Jets. That doesn't mean he won't be a key part of the offense as the season progresses, but there's risk of a three-man committee initially, with Warren presumably starting and Gainwell seemingly on track for at least a small role.

Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Starts preseason finale
Warren started Thursday's 19-10 preseason win over Carolina, taking two carries for three yards and two catches for 12 yards.
Warren and Kenneth Gainwell rotated on the first two drives before handing things over to rookie Kaleb Johnson, who took five carries for 24 yards. It's possible all three running backs have roles come Week 1 against the Jets, but Warren is at least the favorite to start and thus the safest fantasy play among the trio (for now).

Steelers' Derrick Harmon: Dealing with sprained knee
Harmon suffered a sprained knee in Thursday's 19-10 preseason win over the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Harmon was forced to exit the game in the first half with a knee injury, which head coach Mike Tomlin clarified to be a sprain after the contest. The defensive lineman is still being evaluated according to Tomlin, but early indications appear to be relatively positive. Harmon was able to return to the bench on his own in the second half, sitting next to veterans Cameron Heyward and T.J. Watt, looking no worse for the wear, per Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
