• Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Ready for action

  11/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  Skowronek is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports. Skowronek was placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury prior to Week 3, and he'll be set for his first appearance since. He'll primarily play on special teams and is very unlikely to make any impact as a pass catcher.

• Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Activated off IR

  11/09/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Steelers activated Skowronek (shoulder) off injured reserve Saturday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Skowronek was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster each of the first two weeks of the season, and he was then signed to the active roster in mid-September. However, the wideout was immediately placed on IR upon the signing. Skowronek was designated to return earlier this week, and with his activation, he could return to the field Sunday against Washington. If he is active for the contest, Skowronek probably won't see much work on offense given that Pittsburgh's wideout corps is largely healthy and that he didn't see a target during either of the two games he has been active for so far this season.

  Skowronek (shoulder) participated at practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports. Skowronek has been on Pittsburgh's injured reserve list since he was signed due to a shoulder issue, but it now appears he could be approaching a return to the field. The Steelers have 21 days to activate him to their active roster before they'd have to keep him on IR for the rest of the season.

• Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Moves to IR after signing

  09/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Skowronek (shoulder) was signed to the Steelers' 53-man roster Tuesday, then placed on injured reserve Wednesday. Skowronek was elevated from the practice squad for each of Pittsburgh's first two games but hasn't had much of a role in the offense. His move to injured reserve will keep him sidelined for at least the next four weeks but, presumably, he'll be a part of the 53-man roster once he's healthy after his signing to the active roster Wednesday.

• Ben Skowronek: Dealing with injury

  09/17/2024 • By RotoWire

  Skowronek is dealing with shoulder soreness Tuesday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports. Skowronek has been elevated from the Steelers' practice squad each of the first two weeks of the season. However, that has mostly led to a special teams role, as he's only seen six snaps on offense. This injury could impact his role this Sunday against the Chargers and keep him on the practice squad, as Calvin Austin (undisclosed) and Roman Wilson (ankle) deal with injuries as well. Pittsburgh currently has Quez Watkins, Brandon Johnson and Shaquan Davis as options at receiver on their practice squad, too.
