Pruitt (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Pruitt popped up on the Steelers' injury report Thursday as a non-participant due to a knee issue, but he then upgraded to a full practice Friday, suggesting that he's returned to full health. Expect the Southern Illinois product to serve as Pittsburgh's fourth-string tight end in Week 10, playing behind Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington and Connor Heyward.

Pruitt (knee) did not practice Thursday, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports. Pruitt initially suffered a knee injury in Week 2, causing him to miss four contests, but he was able to return to game action in Week 7. He wasn't listed on the injury report Wednesday, so perhaps this is more of a rest day or Pruitt may have suffered an aggravation of some sort. Pruitt has played 42 percent of the offensive snaps in games he's been healthy for this season, catching two of three targets for 19 yards. He's mainly been a blocker.

Pruitt (knee) was listed as a full participant on the Steelers' injury report Wednesday. Pruitt suffered a knee injury in Week 2 against the Broncos, which has kept him sidelined for the Steelers' last four games. The veteran tight end seems to be over the issue, as he was able to practice without limitations Wednesday. Barring any setbacks, Pruitt should return for Week 7 against the Jets and serve in a depth role at tight end behind Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington and Connor Heyward.

Pruitt (knee) is out for Sunday's matchup against Las Vegas, according to the Steelers' official site. Pruitt was a limited participant in each of the Steelers' practices this week, so his inactive designation doesn't come as too much of a surprise. The 6-foot-2 tight end hasn't played since Week 2 against the Broncos and has one catch for nine yards on the year.

Coach Mike Tomlin labeled Pruitt (knee) as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports. It's not an official designation, but it sounds like the Steelers don't expect Pruitt to return for Week 6. It would be Pruitt's fourth consecutive missed contest. The Steelers will continue to roll with Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington and Connor Heyward in Pruitt's absence.
