1 DAY AGO • SI.COM

Limited to two catches in return Pittman caught two passes on five targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Bengals.

Impact Pittman was cleared to return from a one-game absence due to a foot injury. Despite the low offensive output, he played 45 of 62 offensive snaps (72.3 percent), which was second-most among Steelers wide receivers behind DK Metcalf (56). Pittman was also tied for the second-most targets, though six Pittsburgh pass catchers were targeted at least four times by Aaron Rodgers. Pittman has a 5-74-0 receiving line (eight targets) across two regular-season games heading into Thursday's game against the Browns, whose secondary could be without starters Grant Delpit (shoulder) and Tyson Campbell (knee).

Deemed active for Week 3 Pittman (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Impact The foot injury resulted in Pittman being a limited practice participant throughout the week and taking a questionable tag into Sunday, but the wideout appears to have avoided any setbacks and shouldn't face any major restrictions with his snap count in his return from a one-game absence. With Pittman back in the fold, Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard are both likely to see their playing time take hits.

Slated to play Sunday Pittman (foot) is expected to play in Sunday's contest against the Bengals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact A foot injury held Pittman out last Sunday at New England, but after putting in limited sessions during Week 3 prep, he headed into the weekend listed as questionable for Sunday. Ultimately, his status will receive clarification about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Listed questionable for Sunday Pittman (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game, according to Alan Saunders of Steelers Now.

Impact A limited practice participant throughout the week, Pittman appears truly questionable ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. If he can't go, Germie Bernard figures to fill in again alongside DK Metcalf and Roman Wilson in an offense that's largely worked out of three-wide formations this season.

Limited again Thursday Pittman (foot) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Alan Saunders of Steelers Now reports.

Impact Pittman has put forth consecutive limited practice sessions after sitting out Pittsburgh's Week 2 loss to the Patriots. The former Colts wide receiver has one more chance to upgrade to full participation before Pittsburgh releases game statuses for Sunday's game against the Bengals following Friday's practice. Pittman had a team-high 58 receiving yards in his Steelers debut against the Falcons in Week 1.

Officially limited to kick off Week 3 Pittman (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Just as head coach Mike McCarthy suggested would be the case prior to Wednesday's practice, Pittman kicked off Week 3 prep with a cap on his reps. After sitting out this past Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Patriots, Pittman will likely need to upgrade to full participation by Friday to avoid taking a designation into this weekend's matchup with the Bengals. If Pittman winds up missing a second straight game, the Steelers would have more reps available at receiver for Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard.

Back at practice Wednesday Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy said Pittman (foot) will practice Wednesday and is expected to be limited, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Pittman was a limited participant to open Week 2 prep, then didn't practice in any capacity last Thursday and Friday before being listed as questionable heading into Sunday's game against the Patriots. He was ultimately inactive for the Steelers' eventual 20-3 loss, but Pittman will take a step forward to begin Week 3 prep by getting back on the practice field. Pittman will likely need to upgrade to full activity by Friday to avoid carrying a designation for Sunday's matchup with the Bengals.

Impact After sitting out Sunday's game at New England, Pittman's status for Week 3 against the Bengals remains up in the air. With Pittman out against the Patriots, Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard operated as the Steelers' Nos. 2 and 3 receivers behind DK Metcalf. While Wilson ran 42 routes to Bernard's 39, Bernard out-targeted Wilson nine to six. Neither was all that effective in the box score on a day Aaron Rodgers averaged a pitiful 4.8 yards per attempt.
