Is Rico Dowdle playing today for Steelers? Update on running back's injury The Steelers are also navigating the loss of receiver Michael Pittman Jr., who was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

OCTOBER 11 • USATODAY.COM

Officially placed on IR The Steelers placed Pittman (foot) on injured reserve Saturday.

Impact With the expected move now official, Pittman will be required to miss at least the next four games, making Week 10 against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 15 the earliest that the veteran wide receiver can return. Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard are both in line for more offensive snaps for as long as Pittman is sidelined.

Bound for injured reserve Pittman (foot) is being placed on injured reserve, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

Impact Pittman was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts after aggravating a foot injury in practice during Week 5 prep. The team has yet to announce the move, but once it's official, Pittman will be required to miss at least the next four games. With the Steelers on a bye for Week 9, that means the earliest that the veteran wide receiver will be eligible to return is Week 10 against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 15. Roman Wilson figures to step into the WR2 role behind DK Metcalf in Pittman's absence, and rookie second-rounder Germie Bernard should also be in the mix for more targets from veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Aggravates foot injury Pittman is expected to miss multiple weeks after aggravating his foot injury, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports Thursday.

Impact Pittman missed Pittsburgh's Week 2 loss to the Patriots due to a foot injury and had just four catches for 31 yards across two subsequent appearances. He's facing a multi-week absence after aggravating that injury in practice leading up to the Steelers' Week 5 matchup against the Colts. The team has yet to decide whether to place Pittman on IR, in which case he would be required to sit out a minimum of four weeks.

Manages limited practice Wednesday Pittman (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Pittman sat out the Steelers' Week 2 loss to the Patriots due to a foot issue, but he proceeded to suit up for the team's subsequent two games, playing north of 70 percent of snaps in both contests while producing a combined 4-31-0 receiving line on nine targets. The Steelers haven't indicated that Pittman is dealing with any major setback coming out of this past Thursday's loss to the Browns, even though he was spotted moving around the locker room Wednesday with a one-legged scooter and no shoe on his left foot, per Mark Kaboly of 93.7 The Fan Pittsburgh. Pittman's ability to practice in some fashion to kick off Week 5 prep suggests that he remains likely to play this Sunday against the Colts.

Still dealing with foot issue Pittman (foot) was seen using a scooter with his foot propped up in the Steelers' locker room Wednesday, Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com reports.

Impact With Pittman having already missed time recently due to a foot injury, this is another concerning sign for his status ahead of Pittsburgh's next game. If the Steelers wide receiver is limited or unavailable, Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard could see added opportunities behind DK Metcalf.
