• Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Full go for Wednesday

  01/01/2025 • By RotoWire

  Skowronek (hip) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Skowronek opened the Steelers' week of practice as a limited participant after missing the team's Christmas Day loss to the Chiefs. However, he upgraded to full participation Wednesday, suggesting he's since recovered from his hip injury. The 27-year-old is likely to serve as a depth piece in Pittsburgh's wide receiver room in the Week 18 matchup against the Bengals.

  Head coach Mike Tomlin relayed Monday that Skowronek and Joey Porter are both "scheduled to make it back" for Pittsburgh's regular-season finale against Cincinnati on Saturday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports. Skowronek was unable to play against the Chiefs on Christmas Day due to a hip injury that he suffered in Week 16 against the Ravens. He caught five passes on as many targets for 69 yards in the six games prior to his injury, and his return for Week 18 would bolster the Steelers' depth at wide receiver.

  Skowronek (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Chiefs, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Skowronek suffered a hip injury during Pittsburgh's Week 16 loss to Baltimore this past Saturday. While he was able to return to that contest, the injury prevented him from participating in Monday's walkthrough and Tuesday's practice, and the 2021 seventh-round pick will be sidelined for Christmas Day. Skowronek's next opportunity to play will be in the Steelers' regular-season finale against the Bengals on Sunday, Jan. 5.

  12/22/2024 • By RotoWire

  Head coach Mike Tomlin said Sunday that he's uncertain if Skowronek (hip) will be ready to play in the team's Week 17 game against the Chiefs on Wednesday, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports. Skowronek injured his hip in the first half of Saturday's 34-17 loss to the Ravens, though he was cleared to return to the contest. He finished with two receptions for 25 yards on two targets in the loss. Despite getting the green light to check back into Sunday's contest, Skowronek may be hurting now that the adrenaline has worn off. More clarity on his status for the Christmas Day game should come when the Steelers release injury reports Monday and Tuesday.
