Brandon Johnson - Elevated for Week 8 The Steelers elevated Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Brandon Smith - Signed to Pittsburgh's 53-man roster The Steelers signed Smith off the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Impact Smith had already been elevated from the practice squad thrice, so Saturday's move means he's eligible to suit up for the Steelers for the rest of the season. The Iowa product caught both of his targets for 24 yards against the Saints in Week 7. If Ben Skowronek (calf) cannot play Sunday, then Smith, Kaden Wetjen and Brandon Johnson would all be in line for more offensive snaps.

Doneiko Slaughter - Won't play against Cleveland Slaughter (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Slaughter was held out of practice all week due to hamstring injury, which he may have picked up during the Steelers' Week 7 win over the Saints. The second-year pro's absence means Pittsburgh will have one less contributor on special teams, and with the team on a bye for Week 9, Slaughter's next chance to play is Week 10 against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 15.

Brandin Echols - Remaining out for Week 8 Echols (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Echols will end up missing a second consecutive game due to a hamstring injury, so the Steelers will have less depth in the secondary for Sunday's contest, although the sixth-year pro has mostly operated on special teams. The Steelers are on a bye for Week 9, so Echols' next opportunity to play is Week 10 against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 15.

Ben Skowronek - Questionable for Week 8 Skowronek (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Skowronek strung together three consecutive limited practices while working through a calf injury, which has prevented him from playing in each of the Steelers' last two games. His status for Sunday's AFC North may become more clear depending on whether the Steelers elect to elevate Brandon Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Ben Skowronek - Logs another limited practice Skowronek (calf) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Skowronek has missed each of Pittsburgh's past two games due to the calf issue. His ability to begin Week 8 prep with consecutive limited sessions gives the veteran wideout a chance to return Sunday versus Cleveland, though he'll likely carry a designation into the weekend if he's not able to log a full session Friday. When healthy this season, Skowronek has seen limited opportunities on offense, recording just three catches for 32 yards and a touchdown on four targets through five contests.

Ben Skowronek - Limited at practice Wednesday Skowronek (calf) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Impact Skowronek has missed the Steelers' last two games with a calf injury he sustained back in Week 5 versus the Colts, and now his availability for Week 8 is up in the air. Whether he ends up suiting up Sunday versus the Browns might hinge on whether he's able to upgrade to full participation at practice Thursday or Friday.
