Steelers' Michael Pittman: Limited to two catches in return
Pittman caught two passes on five targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Bengals.
Pittman was cleared to return from a one-game absence due to a foot injury. Despite the low offensive output, he played 45 of 62 offensive snaps (72.3 percent), which was second-most among Steelers wide receivers behind DK Metcalf (56). Pittman was also tied for the second-most targets, though six Pittsburgh pass catchers were targeted at least four times by Aaron Rodgers. Pittman has a 5-74-0 receiving line (eight targets) across two regular-season games heading into Thursday's game against the Browns, whose secondary could be without starters Grant Delpit (shoulder) and Tyson Campbell (knee).

Steelers' Michael Pittman: Deemed active for Week 3
Pittman (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
The foot injury resulted in Pittman being a limited practice participant throughout the week and taking a questionable tag into Sunday, but the wideout appears to have avoided any setbacks and shouldn't face any major restrictions with his snap count in his return from a one-game absence. With Pittman back in the fold, Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard are both likely to see their playing time take hits.

Steelers' Michael Pittman: Slated to play Sunday
Pittman (foot) is expected to play in Sunday's contest against the Bengals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
A foot injury held Pittman out last Sunday at New England, but after putting in limited sessions during Week 3 prep, he headed into the weekend listed as questionable for Sunday. Ultimately, his status will receive clarification about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Steelers' Michael Pittman: Listed questionable for Sunday
Pittman (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game, according to Alan Saunders of Steelers Now.
A limited practice participant throughout the week, Pittman appears truly questionable ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. If he can't go, Germie Bernard figures to fill in again alongside DK Metcalf and Roman Wilson in an offense that's largely worked out of three-wide formations this season.

Steelers' Michael Pittman: Limited again Thursday
Pittman (foot) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Alan Saunders of Steelers Now reports.
Pittman has put forth consecutive limited practice sessions after sitting out Pittsburgh's Week 2 loss to the Patriots. The former Colts wide receiver has one more chance to upgrade to full participation before Pittsburgh releases game statuses for Sunday's game against the Bengals following Friday's practice. Pittman had a team-high 58 receiving yards in his Steelers debut against the Falcons in Week 1.

Steelers' Michael Pittman: Officially limited to kick off Week 3
Pittman (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Just as head coach Mike McCarthy suggested would be the case prior to Wednesday's practice, Pittman kicked off Week 3 prep with a cap on his reps. After sitting out this past Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Patriots, Pittman will likely need to upgrade to full participation by Friday to avoid taking a designation into this weekend's matchup with the Bengals. If Pittman winds up missing a second straight game, the Steelers would have more reps available at receiver for Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard.

Steelers' Michael Pittman: Back at practice Wednesday
Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy said Pittman (foot) will practice Wednesday and is likely to be a limited participant, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Pittman was limited to open Week 2 prep, then didn't practice in any capacity last Thursday and Friday before being listed as questionable heading into Sunday's game against the Patriots. He was ultimately inactive for the Steelers' eventual 20-3 loss, but Pittman will take a step forward to begin Week 3 prep by getting back on the practice field. Pittman will likely need to upgrade to full activity by Friday to avoid carrying a designation for Sunday's matchup with the Bengals.

Steelers' Michael Pittman: Dealing with new foot injury
Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Pittman's foot injury is not related to the one he dealt with during training camp and the preseason, Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com reports.
After sitting out Sunday's loss to New England, Pittman's status for Week 3 against the Bengals remains up in the air. While Pittman was out against the Patriots, Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard operated as the Steelers' Nos. 2 and 3 receivers behind DK Metcalf. While Wilson ran 42 routes to Bernard's 39, Bernard out-targeted Wilson, nine to six. Neither was particularly effective in the box score on a day quarterback Aaron Rodgers averaged a pitiful 4.8 yards per attempt.

Steelers' Michael Pittman: Ruled out for Week 2
Pittman (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at New England, Burt Lauten of the Steelers' official site reports.
Pittman opened Week 2 prep with a limited practice Wednesday due to a foot injury that then kept him out of drills entirely Thursday and Friday, leaving him questionable ahead of the weekend. The Steelers have opted to downgrade Pittman to out for Sunday, meaning Roman Wilson and rookie second-round pick Germie Bernard are in line for larger roles in the passing game behind No. 1 option DK Metcalf.

Steelers' Michael Pittman: Listed questionable for Sunday
Pittman (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Pittman was a limited participant Wednesday, but he then missed Thursday's practice and again was listed as a 'DNP' on Friday after a walkthrough. New England's 1:00 p.m ET kickoff means fantasy managers will have a chance to react if Pittman comes down to a game-time decision Sunday morning. An absence should give rookie Germie Bernard his first chance at significant playing time, and both No. 3 WR Roman Wilson and No. 2 TE Darnell Washington are candidates for extra snaps to help fill the gap.

Steelers' Michael Pittman: Misses open portion Friday
Pittman (foot) wasn't present for the open portion of Friday's practice, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
The Steelers listed Pittman as a limited participant Wednesday before downgrading him to non-participation Thursday. The trend isn't promising, though it's still possible Pittman will get some work in before the end of practice Friday afternoon. The Steelers face the Patriots on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET.

Steelers' Michael Pittman: DNP due to foot Thursday
Pittman (foot) was listed as a non-participant at practice Thursday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
Pittman took a step in the wrong direction Thursday after being listed as a limited participant Wednesday. The starting wide receiver's participation level during Friday's practice and subsequent injury status on Friday's injury report will bear monitoring as the Steelers prepare for Sunday's matchup with the Patriots.

Steelers' Michael Pittman: Doesn't appear to be practicing Thursday
Pittman (foot) wasn't on the field for the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Pittman was a limited participant at practice Wednesday and appears to be trending in the wrong direction with Thursday's absence, though he'll have another chance to practice Friday before Pittsburgh releases its final injury report for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard would likely be in line for larger roles alongside DK Metcalf if Pittman doesn't play Sunday.

Steelers' Michael Pittman: Limited by foot injury
Pittman (foot) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Steelers reporter Mark Kaboly reports.
Pittman led the team in receiving in Week 1 but is limited to start preparation for Sunday's game against the Patriots due to a foot injury. A limited practice Wednesday is somewhat encouraging when it comes to the severity of the issue. If Pittman is unable to go Sunday, Roman Wilson or Germie Bernard could pick up some of the slack out wide. Pittman has two more practice sessions to get back up to full speed before the team gives an injury status for Sunday.

Steelers' Michael Pittman: Paces team with 58 yards
Pittman caught all three of his targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Falcons.
While Pittman was sixth on the team with three targets, seeing just a 7.5 percent target share on Aaron Rodgers' 40 throws, the newest Steelers wideout paced the team with his 58 yards. Rodgers dropped back to pass 42 times against Atlanta, and Pittman's 39 routes were second on the team behind DK Metcalf's 42. Pittman's ability closer to the line of scrimmage as a possession wideout aligns better with Rodgers, who likes to work the ball out quickly. Pittman will have a tough date with the Patriots next Sunday.
