Ben Skowronek - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Won't play against Cleveland Skowronek (calf) is inactive against the Browns on Sunday.

Impact Skowronek will end up missing a third consecutive game due to a calf injury, and with the Steelers on a bye for Week 9, his next chance to play is Week 10 against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 15. Kaden Wetjen, Brandon Smith and Brandon Johnson are in line for more snaps on offense in Skowronek's absence.

Questionable for Week 8 Skowronek (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Skowronek strung together three consecutive limited practices while working through a calf injury, which has prevented him from playing in each of the Steelers' last two games. His status for Sunday's AFC North may become more clear depending on whether the Steelers elect to elevate Brandon Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Logs another limited practice Skowronek (calf) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Skowronek has missed each of Pittsburgh's past two games due to the calf issue. His ability to begin Week 8 prep with consecutive limited sessions gives the veteran wideout a chance to return Sunday versus Cleveland, though he'll likely carry a designation into the weekend if he's not able to log a full session Friday. When healthy this season, Skowronek has seen limited opportunities on offense, recording just three catches for 32 yards and a touchdown on four targets through five contests.

Limited at practice Wednesday Skowronek (calf) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Impact Skowronek has missed the Steelers' last two games with a calf injury he sustained back in Week 5 versus the Colts, and now his availability for Week 8 is up in the air. Whether he ends up suiting up Sunday versus the Browns might hinge on whether he's able to upgrade to full participation at practice Thursday or Friday.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Week 7 The Steelers ruled Skowronek (calf) out for Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Skowronek did not participate in Wednesday's practice. He will now miss his second straight week due to a calf injury suffered in the Steelers' Week 5 win against the Colts. Kaden Wetjen may see some extra reps in his place.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Idle for Wednesday's practice Skowronek (calf) did not practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Skowronek was unable to play against the Buccaneers in Week 6 due to a calf injury that he sustained during the Steelers' Week 5 win over the Colts. He'll have two more chances to log at least a limited practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints in Paris.

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.

Impact Skowronek was diagnosed with a leg injury during the Steelers' 34-22 win over the Colts, an injury that 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 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.

Questionable to return in Week 5 Skowronek (leg) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts, Jake Arthur of Roundtable.io reports.

Impact Skowronek was injured during a Steelers punt and is now in danger of missing the remainder of the Week 5 meeting with Indianapolis. The 29-year-old logged only eight offensive snaps in the Week 4 loss to the Browns, though his departure from the contest, even if it's brief, will be felt on special teams.

Notches TD in Week 3 Skowronek hauled in his lone target for a 23-yard touchdown during Sunday's 30-27 win over the Bengals.

Impact Skowronek ranked fifth among Steelers receivers by playing 11 of the team's 62 offensive snaps, but the 29-year-old was able to connect with quarterback Aaron Rodgers on a pass to the end zone during his limited time on the field. Despite coming up with a big play in the Week 3 win, Skowronek remains likely to see most of his field time on special teams moving forward.
