Top Steelers News

  • Steelers' Jamel Dean: Returns to practice

    Dean (ankle) was a limited participant at the Steelers' practice Wednesday, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

    Dean was sidelined at practice for the entire week before missing the team's Week 5 win over the Colts with an ankle injury that he suffered in Week 4 versus Cleveland. The cornerback was able to make his return to practice Wednesday, and he'll have two more chances to log a full session before Sunday's matchup with Tampa Bay.

  • Steelers' Rico Dowdle: Practices in limited fashion

    Dowdle (toe) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

    The Steelers are optimistic that Dowdle will put an end to a three-game absence and suit up Sunday against the Buccaneers, but he may need to upgrade to full practice participation by Friday in order to avoid taking a designation into the weekend. If Dowdle is cleared to play Sunday, he'll be in store for a lesser role than what he had previously handled, as Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy indicated earlier in the week that Jaylen Warren has earned the right to remain in a bell-cow role out of the backfield.

  • Steelers' Darnell Washington: Only two catches in Week 5 win

    Washington caught two of three targets for 12 yards during the Steelers' 34-22 win over the Colts on Sunday.

    Both of Washington's catches came in the first half, and he saw just one more target from Aaron Rodgers in the third quarter. Washington's numbers were dwarfed by his tight end teammate Pat Freiermuth, with the latter finishing with a 5-44-2 receiving line on seven targets. Washington will take an 11-131-1 receiving line (on 16 targets) into the Steelers' Week 6 road tilt against the Buccaneers, whose defense ranks in the bottom-10 in the league in receiving yards allowed to tight ends this season.

  • Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Already ruled out for Week 6

    Head coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Skowronek (calf) will not play against the Buccaneers this Sunday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

    Skowronek was diagnosed with a leg injury during the Steelers' 34-22 win over the Colts, which he picked up after a punt return in the first half. He was unable to return to the contest, and his calf issue will cost him at least one game, with his next chance to play being Week 7 against the Saints in Paris on Sunday, Oct. 25. Roman Wilson (finger) has also been ruled out for Week 6, so rookie second-rounder Germie Bernard, Kaden Wetjen and Brandon Smith are all in line for additional snaps on offense against Tampa Bay.

  • Steelers' Rico Dowdle: Expected back for Week 6

    Steelers offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio said Monday that he anticipates Dowdle (toe) returning to action Week 6 against the Buccaneers, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

    Though he managed three limited practices in Week 5, Dowdle ultimately missed a third straight game in Sunday's eventual 34-22 win over the Colts. The Steelers seem optimistic that Dowdle will upgrade to full practice participation at some point in Week 6 to put him on a path to play against Tampa Bay, but if available, the 28-year-old could be ticketed for limited snaps in a backup role. Jaylen Warren has accounted for 490 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns across the past three games, with his performance prompting head coach Mike McCarthy to label him Monday as the featured option out of the backfield, per Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. McCarthy previously suggested that Warren and Dowdle would form a "one-two punch" out of the backfield when both were healthy, but Warren's stellar play has changed that plan.

  • Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Leader of Pittsburgh's backfield

    Head coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that he views Warren as "our featured player right now," Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    During the offseason, McCarthy said that he viewed the Steelers' backfield as a 50-50 split between Warren and Rico Dowdle (toe). However, Warren has solidified his RB1 role over the Steelers' last three games with Dowdle on the sidelines, with the former accumulating 490 yards and two touchdowns on 61 touches (49 carries, 12 catches on 16 targets) in that span. It appears Warren is the clear lead back for the Steelers even Dowdle returns, which could happen as soon as this Sunday against the Buccaneers.

  • Steelers' Roman Wilson: Won't play Week 6 vs. Tampa Bay

    Head coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Wilson (finger) will not play against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Nick Farabaugh of SteelersNow.com reports.

    Wilson is set to miss at least a couple of weeks due to a finger injury that he sustained during the Steelers' 34-22 win over the Colts on Sunday, so it's not surprising to see him already ruled out for Week 6. There's a chance he could return for Week 7 against the Saints on Sunday, Oct. 25, but in the absence of both Wilson and Michael Pittman (foot, IR), the Steelers will rely more heavily on DK Metcalf, rookie Germie Bernard, running back Jaylen Warren and tight end Pat Freiermuth in the passing game.
