Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Activated off IR
The Pittsburgh Steelers activated Ben 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.

Ben Skowronek: Dealing with injury
Ben 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.

Ben Skowronek: Heads back to practice squad
Ben 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.

The Pittsburgh Steelers elevated Ben Skowronek to the active roster Saturday, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.Skowronek will be called up for the Steelers' regular-season opener against the Falcons on Sunday due to rookie wideout Roman Wilson (ankle) being ruled out.
