Dealing with minor hamstring injury Pittman's absence from practice that stems back to last week is due to a hamstring issue, Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com reports.

Impact Pittman left practice on Saturday, Aug. 8 with some sort of right leg injury and has been sidelined in the meantime, but the nature of the issue wasn't clarified until this week. Meanwhile, fellow WR DK Metcalf also has been tending to an undisclosed health concern during most of that stretch. Pittsburgh likely will continue to take a cautious approach with its top two receivers with a Week 1 matchup against the Falcons on Sunday, Sept. 13 in mind.

Impact Both Pittman and Metcalf were sidelined for the Steelers' 28-9 preseason win over the Packers on Thursday, and it looks like both veteran wideouts are unlikely to play in this Friday's exhibition contest against the Jets. Pittman has been working through a right leg injury, but there's no indication that he won't be available for the Steelers' Week 1 clash against the Falcons on Sunday, Sept. 13. If he isn't able to play against the Jets, then Pittman's last chance to see preseason action would be Thursday, Aug. 27 against the Bills.

Not slated to play preseason opener Pittman isn't in line to suit up for Thursday's preseason contest against the Packers, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Pittman missed practice this week due to an right leg injury, and with DK Metcalf (undisclosed) also in street clothes Thursday, the Steelers' top two wide receivers won't be available to the offense. Pittman's next opportunity to log some exhibition action and potentially get some work in with QB Aaron Rodgers is Friday, Aug. 21 versus the Jets.

Misses practice Tuesday Pittman (right leg) didn't practice Tuesday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Impact The same applies to fellow WR DK Metcalf (undisclosed), according to QB Aaron Rodgers. As a result, there's a decent chance that both Pittman and Metcalf are held out of Thursday's preseason opener against the Packers, but there's been nothing so far to suggest that either player is managing anything too concerning.

Versatile role incoming? Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy views Pittman as a versatile pass catcher capable of running the full route tree, Chris Harlan of TribLive reports.

Impact Pittman joined Pittsburgh via trade from the Colts back in March, and it seems his fit in McCarthy's offense will extend beyond just providing Aaron Rodgers another big-bodied target opposite DK Metcalf. McCarthy's comments suggest Pittman will be moved around the formation and used at multiple depths of the field, giving him a chance not only to avoid being boxed into a possession-only role, but to potentially gain Rodgers' trust as a reliable fallback option. The 28-year-old's fantasy ceiling will still depend on Pittsburgh's quarterback play and target distribution, but a more varied route tree could help Pittman maintain steady weekly involvement in his first season with the Steelers.
