• 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.

• Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Elevated again for Week 2

  09/14/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Steelers elevated Skowronek from their practice squad Saturday ahead of the team's Week 2 matchup versus Denver. Skowronek was also elevated ahead of Week 1 and played 10 snaps -- all on special teams -- against Atlanta. He'll likely have a similar role this Sunday while serving as wideout depth with rookie receiver Roman Wilson questionable to suit up due to an ankle injury.

• Ben Skowronek: Heads back to practice squad

  09/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  Skowronek reverted to Pittsburgh's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Skowronek played all ten of his snaps on special teams during the Steelers' win at Atlanta in Week 1. It looks like the Steelers aspire to be a run-heavy offense in 2024 as long as game script allows, so there probably won't be many weeks where Pittsburgh pass catchers not named George Pickens draw enough target volume for fantasy consideration in most leagues.
