Logs full practice Austin (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Wednesday.

Impact Full participation in his first practice since Week 4 puts Austin on track to return this Sunday against the Packers. Pittsburgh's backup wideouts haven't done much in Austin's absence, with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith instead relying on his tight ends even more than he usually does. Austin was a pleasant surprise for Pittsburgh early in the season, with 126 yards and two TDs on 15 targets over his first three games.

Returns to practice Austin (shoulder) is returning to practice Wednesday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Impact Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that he's optimistic about Austin returning for Sunday's game against the Packers. Austin hasn't played or practiced since Week 4, missing a bye and two games in the interim.

Could be back for Week 8 Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that he's "optimistic" that Austin (shoulder) will be able to play in Sunday's game against the Packers, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Austin has missed the Steelers' last two games with a shoulder injury, but Tomlin noted that the wideout has made enough progress in his recovery to be integrated back into practices this week. The extent of Austin's participation in practice will ultimately dictate whether he plays Sunday, but if the 26-year-old is able to turn in at least one full session by Friday, he'll have good odds of gaining clearance to suit up. Through four appearances this season, Austin has recorded 10 receptions for 139 yards and two touchdowns on 17 targets.

Calvin Austin injury update for Steelers on Thursday night Calvin Austin is one of the Steelers' more underrated weapons. Here's the latest on his status for Thursday night.

Ruled out for TNF Austin (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bengals, Nick Farabaugh of Penn Live reports.

Impact He hasn't practiced since a Week 5 bye and will now miss as second straight game. Austin's absence from win over the Browns this past Sunday left more playing time for Scotty Miller (50 percent route share) and Roman Wilson (27 percent), but they combined for just one target -- a 12-yard reception by Wilson. Pittsburgh's passing game figures to run through WR DK Metcalf, along with the tight ends and running backs.

Sits out practice Austin (shoulder) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Still on the mend from the shoulder injury he sustained in a Week 4 win over the Vikings in Dublin, Austin has yet to resume practicing and appears to be trending toward missing a second straight game Thursday against the Bengals. While Austin was sidelined for this past Sunday's win over the Browns, Scotty Miller and Roman Wilson both benefited from upticks in playing time behind No. 1 wideout DK Metcalf but combined for just one reception.

Estimated as DNP on Monday Austin (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Coach Mike Tomlin said earlier Monday that Austin is questionable for Thursday night's game against the Bengals after he missed the Week 6 win over the Browns following his injury in Week 4. Scotty Miller, Roman Wilson and Ben Skowronek would be in line for increased offensive snaps against Cincinnati if Austin is unable to play, but none of that aforementioned trio would carry any sort of fantasy value in season-long leagues.

Questionable for Week 7 Coach Mike Tomlin said Monday that Austin (shoulder) is questionable for Thursday night's game against the Bengals, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Austin was injured in the Steelers' Week 4 win over the Vikings and then missed this past Sunday's Week 6 contest against the Browns following Pittsburgh's bye. It sounds like he may need another week to recover due to the short week ahead. If Austin does indeed miss Thursday night's game, he'll have 10 days to get ready for a Week 8 date with the Packers. With Austin out against Cleveland, Scotty Miller, Roman Wilson and Ben Skowronek split wide receiver duties behind DK Metcalf. However, the Steelers leaned more on three-tight end sets rather than multiple wideouts.

Ruled out for Sunday Austin (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns after not practicing this week.

Impact Austin, who was forced out of Week 4's win over the Vikings after logging 27 snaps (and catching both of his targets for 13 yards), will thus target a potential return to action Thursday night against the Bengals. In his absence this weekend, Ben Skowronek, Scotty Miller and Roman Wilson are candidates to see added opportunities behind WR1 DK Metcalf.

Another DNP on Thursday Austin (shoulder) remained a non-participant in practice Thursday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Austin injured his shoulder in Pittsburgh's Week 4 win over the Vikings, and he has now missed the team's first two practices coming out of a Week 5 bye. Head coach Mike Tomlin said earlier in the week that Austin could ramp up his practice participation as the week progresses, but Austin will likely need to practice in some capacity Friday to give himself a chance to suit up for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Misses practice Wednesday Austin was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Austin is a player who could ramp up his practice activity "toward the latter part of the week," Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports, but it's nonetheless a bad sign to see the wideout absent from practice despite having had a bye to get right. Austin will presumably need to return to practice as at least a limited participant Thursday and/or Friday in order to have a chance at suiting up Sunday versus the Browns.
