Steelers' Brandon Smith: Elevated from practice squad
The Steelers elevated Smith from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Bucs.
With Michael Pittman (foot), Roman Wilson (finger) and Ben Skowronek (calf) all injured and out for Week 6, Smith will bring up the rear of the Steelers' wideout depth chart behind DK Metcalf and rookie Germie Bernard.

Brandon Smith: Back on practice squad
Smith reverted to Pittsburgh's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Smith was called upon for Sunday's Week 5 win over the Colts and logged 16 of 60 offensive snaps. He made one catch for six yards, but that reception was negated due to a holding penalty, so Smith statistically ended up without a target. Wideouts Roman Wilson (finger) and Ben Skowronek (calf) were both injured Sunday and have already been ruled out for Week 6, so Smith figures to have a good chance of being elevated again for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay.

Smith tied Quentin Skinner for the team lead in receiving yards Saturday.
