Germie Bernard - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Team-high 35 receiving yards vs. Pats Bernard caught four passes on eight targets for 35 yards during the Steelers' 20-3 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Impact The rookie second-rounder operate as the WR3 due to the absence of Michael Pittman (foot). Aaron Rodgers struggled at Gillette Stadium, but Bernard did his part by leading the Steelers pass catchers in receiving yards while finishing second in catches behind Roman Wilson (five) and second in targets to DK Metcalf (nine). Pittman's status for Week 3 against the Bengals on Sept. 27 is up in the air, but even if he was ruled out, Bernard's production (along with the other Steelers pass catchers) will be capped unless Rodgers improves his play.

Set for larger role Sunday Bernard is set to be the No. 3 option at wide receiver in Sunday's game against the Patriots, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Impact The second-round rookie will have his first opportunity as a starting member of the Steelers offense due to Michael Pittman (foot) being ruled out ahead of the contest. Bernard saw just three offensive snaps in the team's Week 1 win over the Falcons, a number that should skyrocket in Week 2.

Minimally involved Sunday Bernard played three of Pittsburgh's 67 offensive snaps during Sunday's 20-13 win versus the Falcons.

Impact Bernard was able to make his pro debut in Week 1, but it didn't result in any production in the box score. Only DK Metcalf (60), Michael Pittman (56) and 2024 third-rounder Roman Wilson (35) saw any snaps at wide receiver for the Steelers on Sunday otherwise.

Finds end zone in final exhibition game Bernard caught one of two targets for a 13-yard touchdown in Thursday's 28-27 preseason loss to the Bills.

Impact The Steelers rested their starters and key personnel, but Bernard played the first quarter and connected with Will Howard (head) on a one-play scoring drive after Buffalo's Ray Davis muffed a punt. Bernard's usage Thursday would seem to suggest he'll begin the season No. 4 on the wide receiver depth chart behind DK Metcalf (undisclosed), Michael Pittman (hamstring) and Roman Wilson, but the 2026 second-round pick could find himself in a key role early if either of the veterans ahead of him wind up not being ready for Week 1.

Fails to record catch in Friday's loss Bernard did not catch his lone target during the Steelers' 17-0 preseason loss to the Jets on Friday.

Impact Both DK Metcalf (undisclosed) and Michael Pittman (hamstring) were sidelined for Friday's exhibition contest, so Bernard joined Roman Wilson and Ben Skowronek in the Steelers' first-team offense. The offense struggled with both Will Howard and Drew Allar under center, and Bernard failed to log any receiving yards despite playing 29 snaps. The rookie second-rounder is currently listed as the Steelers' No. 4 wideout behind Metcalf, Pittman and Wilson, and Thursday's preseason finale against the Bills presents Bernard his last opportunity to push for the WR3 job before the conclusion of training camp.

Takes advantage of opportunity Thursday Bernard caught four of five targets for 51 yards in Thursday's 28-9 preseason win over the Packers.

Impact 'The rookie wideout tied tight end Robert Tonyan for the Steelers' lead in receptions, but that production came with Mason Rudolph under center as Aaron Rodgers got the night off, and the team's top two wideouts DK Metcalf (undisclosed) and Michael Pittman (leg) sidelined. While it's encouraging that Bernard took advantage of his opportunity, and he did out-produce his main competition for the WR3 role in Roman Wilson, he still has a lot to prove to land on the fantasy radar in most formats.
