Pruitt (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports. Pruitt likely suffered a knee injury during the Steelers' Week 2 win, and following Wednesday's DNP, it appears he could be in jeopardy of missing Sunday's matchup with the Chargers. The 32-year-old's practice participation Thursday and Friday will provide a better indication of his availability for Week 3.

Pruitt suffered a knee injury in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Broncos, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports. Pruitt was able to record a tackle in punt coverage Sunday, but he appears to have picked up a knee injury at some point along the way. The tight end's status should be updated when the team returns to practice Wednesday.

Pruitt secured one of two targets for nine yards during Sunday's 18-10 win over the Falcons. Pruitt was on the field for 59 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps Sunday, more than fellow reserve tight end Darnell Washington. Pruitt also had one more target than Washington, but both tight ends will likely have limited work in the passing game behind starter Pat Freiermuth this season. Pruitt secured nine of 12 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown while appearing in all 17 games with Atlanta last year, and he'll likely struggle to have a fantasy-relevant role once again in 2024.

Pruitt secured his lone target for eight yards during Saturday's 9-3 preseason loss to the Bills. Pruitt wasn't targeted during the Steelers' preseason opener against Houston last weekend, but he recorded a catch during Saturday's low-scoring loss. He played 32 percent of the team's offensive snaps Saturday, but if he makes the 53-man roster, he's unlikely to see much playing time behind Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington.

Pruitt signed with Pittsburgh on Thursday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Pruitt has consistently worked as a backup tight end, primarily as a blocker. He'll take on a similar role with the Steelers and should pair well with Darnell Washington to aid the run game. Pruitt is reunited with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith after also playing under him in Tennessee and Atlanta.
