Steelers' Anthony McFarland: Goes on IR
McFarland (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday.
McFarland had already been ruled out for Monday's game against the Browns after not being able to practice all week. However, his shift to IR wasn't necessarily expected. The move will now leave the Steelers without their No. 3 running back and kick returner. Practice squad call-up Qadree Ollison and Gunner Olszewski are expected to handle those respective roles in Week 2.

Steelers' Anthony McFarland: Set to miss Week 2
McFarland (knee) has been ruled out for Monday night's contest versus Cleveland, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Steelers' Anthony McFarland: Misses practice again Friday
McFarland (knee) did not participate at practice Friday ahead of Monday's game versus Cleveland, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
It's looking increasingly unlikely McFarland will be available in Week 2 after managing just five offensive snaps in Week 1. If he misses time, it will leave Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren virtually alone to share carries out of Pittsburgh's backfield.

Steelers' Anthony McFarland: Logs DNP
McFarland (knee) did not practice Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
McFarland may be in danger of missing the team's divisional clash Monday against the Browns. However, with an extra day before the game, the Maryland product will have additional time to recover before kickoff. If he were to miss, the impact may be greater in the return game as opposed to the backfield, as the 2020 fourth-round selection saw just five snaps on offense in Week 1.

Steelers' Anthony McFarland: Logs two touches Sunday
McFarland secured both of his targets for 11 yards during the Steelers' 30-7 loss to San Francisco on Sunday.
McFarland played just five offensive snaps during Sunday's regular-season opener, but he still managed to draw two targets in the passing game. As long as Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren are healthy this year, it should be difficult for McFarland to carve out a fantasy-relevant role.

Steelers' Anthony McFarland: Stands apart with speed
Coach Mike Tomlin recently told reporters that McFarland has "a distinguishing trait" and "won more in space than others" during training camp.
McFarland looked to be the No. 3 running back throughout preseason and ended up landing that job on the initial 53-man roster. His 4.44 speed may have stood out among a position group that otherwise lacked breakaway speed, but McFarland nonetheless figures to start the year with minimal involvement in the offense behind Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren.

Steelers' Anthony McFarland: Leading rusher against Atlanta
McFarland rushed 10 times for 55 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's 24-0 preseason win over the Falcons.
McFarland saw plenty of work during Pittsburgh's exhibition finale, capping off what has been a solid training camp and preseason. He reached the end zone twice and rushed 22 times for 75 yards and two touchdowns while securing all three of his targets for 23 yards. Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren appear to be the Steelers' clear top two running backs, but McFarland may have done enough to earn a spot on the team's 53-man roster.

Steelers' Anthony McFarland: Inefficient in win
McFarland rushed nine times for two yards while securing both of his targets for 18 yards during Saturday's 27-15 preseason win over Buffalo.
McFarland averaged six yards per carry during the Steelers' preseason opener but was unable to generate as much production on the ground Saturday despite leading the team in carries. The 2020 fourth-rounder is only on the team on a reserve/future contract after spending most of last year on the team's practice squad, but he should have a better chance to make the 53-man roster this season since Benny Snell and Jeremy McNichols are no longer with the team.

Steelers' Anthony McFarland: Reaches end zone in victory
McFarland rushed three times for 18 yards and a touchdown while securing his lone target for five yards during Friday's 27-17 preseason win over the Buccaneers.
McFarland remained with the Steelers during the offseason by signing a reserve/futures contract with the team, and he's impressed during training camp this year. He accounted for Pittsburgh's lone rushing touchdown during Friday's preseason opener, but he'll likely struggle to find much work behind Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren once the regular season rolls around.

Steelers' Anthony McFarland: Sticks with Pittsburgh
The Steelers signed McFarland to a reserve/future contract Thursday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
McFarland spent the first two seasons of his career on Pittsburgh's active roster, but he moved down to the practice squad for the start of the 2022 campaign after getting waived in late August. The 2020 fourth-round pick was elevated when rookie Jaylen Warren was inactive with a hamstring injury Week 12, recording six carries for 30 yards as well as two receptions for 11 yards during this lone appearance in 2022. McFarland's experience with the team should keep him in contention for a backup running back role heading into the 2023 campaign.

Steelers' Anthony McFarland: Returns to practice squad
McFarland reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
McFarland was elevated for the first time this season with rookie Jaylen Warren (hamstring) ruled out ahead of Monday's win against the Colts. As a result, the third-year running back played 21 offensive snaps behind Benny Snell (28) and ahead of Najee Harris (20), who was forced out early with an abdomen injury. As a result, McFarland wound up recording six carries for 30 rushing yards and two receptions (on two targets) for 11 more yards in his 2022 debut. With the statuses of Harris and Warren now up in the air, McFarland could once again play a prominent role if these two are sidelined versus Atlanta on Sunday.
