Report: Michael Pittman Jr. expected to miss multiple weeks

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. re-injured his foot and is expected to miss multiple weeks, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, who cited Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy on Thursday.

Pittman has played 3 games for Pittsburgh in 2026–27, recording 7 receptions on 12 targets for 89 receiving yards. The wide receiver also has 1 solo tackle. His receiving work has come during the Steelers’ first four games, giving Pittsburgh a contributor in its passing game before the reported injury.

The Steelers are 2-2 and rank 28th of 32 teams in offensive EPA, a measure of how efficiently an offense adds expected points on its plays. Pittsburgh’s defense has ranked sixth in defensive EPA, supplying the stronger side of a team whose offense has had limited room for error. Pittman’s reported absence removes a receiver from that offense for the stated multiple-week period.
