Injury Details
The Steelers are placing receiver Michael Pittman Jr. on injured reserve due to a foot injury. He had been managing plantar fasciitis in his left foot and aggravated the issue in a recent practice session. The team expects him to miss multiple weeks. He also missed a large portion of training camp with a separate undisclosed injury.
Acquisition and Early Production
Pittsburgh acquired the 29-year-old veteran from the Colts in a March trade that involved a late-round pick swap and then signed him to a three-year, $59 million extension. Pittman entered the league as a second-round selection in 2020 and spent six seasons with Indianapolis, where he recorded two 1,000-yard campaigns. In his time with the Steelers he has caught seven passes on 12 targets for 89 yards.
Upcoming Matchup
The injury occurs as the Steelers prepare to face the Colts on Sunday.
