Ben Skowronek - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Quiet during 2025 regular season Skowronek secured four of six targets for 69 yards and a touchdown while appearing in all 17 regular-season games in 2025.

Impact Skowronek had a 22-yard touchdown reception in the Steelers' Week 1 win over the Jets, but his production went downhill from there. He failed to garner multiple targets in any of his regular-season appearances, and he was forced to play mainly on special teams during his fifth professional campaign. The 2021 seventh-rounder will be an unrestricted free agent during the offseason, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him seek out other opportunities after being held under 70 receiving yards in each of his two seasons in Pittsburgh.

Limited Wednesday Skowronek (illness/hand) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

No injury designation for MNF Skowronek (hand) was not given an injury designation for Monday's clash against Miami.

Impact Skowronek didn't practice Wednesday due to the hand issue, but he was able to finish the week with consecutive limited sessions. Those will be enough for the veteran wideout to take the field against the Dolphins on Monday Night Football. Skowronek has seen most of his work on special teams of late, as he has logged just 13 offensive snaps as opposed to 29 special-teams snaps over the past two weeks.

Limited in practice Friday Skowronek (hand) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Skowronek was unable to practice Wednesday, so an upgrade in participation level is a good sign for the wide receiver's chances of playing in Monday night's game against the Dolphins. The 28-year-old will have one more opportunity to upgrade to a full participant and avoid an injury designation for Monday's game.

Impact Skowronek dealt with a shoulder injury during practice Week 14 but managed to suit up for the Steelers' win over Baltimore without any sort of designation. Now, however, the depth wideout's status appears uncertain due to a hand issue. Skowronek will have two more opportunities to get back on the practice field ahead of Monday's matchup against the Dolphins.

Cleared for Sunday Skowronek (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Skowronek upgraded to full practice participation Friday, just in time to dodge an injury designation ahead of Sunday's divisional tilt. The depth wide receiver has three receptions on five targets for 56 yards and a touchdown this season, and has not missed a game.

As Told To: An Oral History of Baker Mayfield's Legendary 2022 Rams Debut

Gets in full practice Thursday Skowronek (neck) was a full practice participant Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Skowronek was a limited participant Wednesday due to a neck issue, but he appears to be fine given his full participation one day later. The veteran wideout should be good to go for Sunday's Week 9 clash against the Colts, though he hasn't been a major part of Pittsburgh's offense with just two catches on three targets for 35 yards and a touchdown through seven contests.

Dealing with neck injury Skowronek (neck) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Skowronek may have tweaked his neck during the Steelers' Week 8 loss to the Packers, when he played 39 snaps (11 on offense, 28 on special teams) while hauling in his lone target for a 13-yard catch. He has mostly served on special teams this season but would have a slightly expanded role on offense for as long as Scotty Miller is sidelined due to a broken finger. Skowronek's practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his chances of playing against the Colts on Sunday.

OCTOBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Records second reception of season Skowronek secured his lone target for a 13-yard reception in Sunday's 35-25 loss to the Packers.

Impact The reception was Skowronek's first since Week 1, when he had a 22-yard touchdown catch in a win over the Jets. He played just 11 of the Steelers' 63 snaps on offense Sunday and remains buried on the depth chart at receiver behind DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin and Roman Wilson.

Not targeted against Cleveland Skowronek wasn't targeted during Sunday's 23-9 win over the Browns.

Impact Although Calvin Austin (shoulder) was sidelined for Pittsburgh's Week 6 matchup Sunday, Skowronek played most of his snaps on special teams and wasn't involved in the passing game. Skowronek has been targeted just once over the Steelers' last four games, and he has minimal fantasy value, even if Austin is forced to miss more time.

Back to FP while Austin stays DNP Skowronek (illness) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Skowronek was a full go Thursday after being limited by an illness Wednesday. He could see additional opportunities Sunday against the Browns if Calvin Austin (shoulder) is unable to play. Austin didn't practice in any capacity Wednesday or Thursday.

OCTOBER 9, 2025 • PENNLIVE.COM

Limited in practice Skowronek (illness) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Skowronek opening Week 6 with a limited practice provides reason for optimism that he'll be able to gain clearance for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Browns. Prior to Pittsburgh's bye, Skowronek was targeted once during the team's win over the Vikings in Week 4, though he failed to log a reception. Through four regular-season appearances, the only catch Skowronek has logged is the 22-yard touchdown he recorded during the Steelers' win over the Jets in Week 1.

OCTOBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Targeted once in victory Skowronek failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Vikings.

Impact Skowronek caught a 22-yard touchdown during the Steelers' regular-season opener, but Sunday's overseas matchup was the first time he was targeted since then. Calvin Austin exited Sunday's game due to a shoulder injury, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available following the Steelers' Week 5 bye. However, even if Austin misses time, Skowronek would likely be forced to compete for a role with Scotty Miller and Roman Wilson, and it's unlikely that any of them would have much fantasy upside behind DK Metcalf.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not targeted against Seattle Skowronek wasn't targeted during Sunday's 31-17 loss to Seattle.

Impact Skowronek reached the end zone during last week's regular-season opener, but he was unable to replicate his success in Week 2 as his snap count remained low. The 2021 seventh-rounder has played mainly on special teams early in the season, and he was on the field for just three offensive snaps Sunday. Although he made the most of his Week 1 target, it seems unlikely that he'll be a reliable fantasy option in 2025 as long as the rest of Pittsburgh's receivers stay healthy.
