Michael Pittman Jr. - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Paces team with 58 yards Pittman caught all three of his targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Falcons.

Impact While Pittman was sixth on the team with three targets, seeing just a 7.5 percent target share on Aaron Rodgers' 40 throws, the newest Steelers wideout paced the team with his 58 yards. Rodgers dropped back to pass 42 times against Atlanta, and Pittman's 39 routes were second on the team behind DK Metcalf's 42. Pittman's ability closer to the line of scrimmage as a possession wideout aligns better with Rodgers, who likes to work the ball out quick. Pittman will have another tough date with the Patriots next Sunday.

Expected to be fine for Week 1 Pittman (hamstring) is expected to be ready for Week 1 against the Falcons, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Like teammate DK Metcalf (undisclosed), Pittman has missed a bunch of practice time this summer and didn't see any preseason action. However, Pittman was back on the practice field last week and will now have the next couple weeks to get ramped up for the Week 1 opener. Acquired from the Colts over the offseason, Pittman is expected to push Metcalf for the team lead in targets this season, but it's fair to wonder about Pittman's chemistry with Aaron Rodgers right out of the gates.

Present at practice Monday Pittman (right ankle) was in pads and going through stretching during Monday's practice, Alan Saunders of Steelers Now reports.

Impact After missing practice time since Aug. 8, Pittman at least was back on the field for the early portion of Monday's session. Pittman joins DK Metcalf among notable Steelers to return to the practice field Monday after missing some time. The development offers a positive step for the Steelers' big free-agency acquisition, though it doesn't confirm that he has resumed full practice work. Still, Pittman has time to get back to full-go before the season kicks off Sept. 13.

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.
