Rotoworld Player News

Rico Dowdle

PIT Running Back #13

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Rico Dowdle (toe) was limited on Thursday.

Dowdle now has two limited practice sessions under his belt. He remains in the questionable column for the Steelers’ Week 5 game against the Colts, but a return from his multi-week injury is possible. If active, Dowdle would likely be an RB3/FLEX
Michael Pittman

PIT Wide Receiver #11

Steelers coach Mike McCarthy said Michael Pittman re-aggravated his foot injury and will miss multiple weeks.

McCarthy told reporters the team is evaluating Pittman’s roster spot, meaning they could place him on injured reserve. He would miss at least four weeks while on IR. Pittman tried to play through the foot injury but only made it two weeks before aggravating the issue. He was spotted using a scooter to support his foot in the locker room on Wednesday. We suspect the Steelers will place him on IR to give Pittman enough time to fully recover. Germie Bernard will now operate as the team’s permanent WR3, with Roman Wilson taking on more work as the clear No. 2 receiver. Both players will be decent FLEX options for Week 5.
Michael Pittman

PIT Wide Receiver #11

ESPN’s Brooke Pryor reports that Michael Pittman (foot) was in “the locker room with his left foot propped up on a scooter.”

Pittman has been playing through a foot injury this season and was seen participating in team stretches earlier today. Although the scooter use is alarming, this is likely just load management. Pittman is a boom-bust FLEX against the Colts this weekend.
Rico Dowdle

PIT Running Back #13

Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy said Rico Dowdle is making progress in his attempt to return from a toe injury.

McCarthy said he expects Dowdle and Jaylen Warren to be a “one-two punch” once Dowdle returns to the field. Warren has totaled 34 rushes over the last two weeks while rushing for 220 scoreless yards, but had a 21-89-0 line during the first two weeks of the season when Dowdle was active. Both backs will likely fall in the RB3/FLEX range if Dowdle suits up for Week 5’s game against the Colts.
Derrick Harmon

PIT Defensive Tackle

Steelers coach Mike McCarthy said Derrick Harmon (foot) will be placed on injured reserve.

He’ll be eligible to return in Week 9. Harmon had shown some increased pass rush ability in his four games so far this season and this is a tough loss for the Steelers defense in the short-term.
Sean Murphy-Bunting

PIT Cornerback #26

Steelers signed CB Sean Murphy-Bunting to the active roster.

Murphy-Bunting has been on the Buccaneers’ practice squad but will now join the Steelers’ 53-man roster. The 29-year-old corner missed all of last season with a torn ACL but has started 65 of the 82 games he appeared in over his career while notching 11 interceptions. The addition of Murphy-Bunting could provide an upgrade to a defense that recently lost Joey Porter Jr. after trading him to the Cowboys.
Derrick Harmon

PIT Defensive Tackle

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Derrick Harmon (foot) “is expected to miss a few weeks.”

Rapoport noted that IR is an option, but the injury is not considered long-term. Harmon suffered the foot injury on Thursday against the Browns. He was carted to the locker room and was later spotted wearing a boot on the sidelines. The second-year tackle had 1.5 sacks in three games before leaving Week 4 early. His potential breakout campaign will now be put on hold for upwards of a month.
Terrell Jennings

PIT Running Back #26

Free agent RB Terrell Jennings worked out for the Steelers on Friday.

Perhaps one of the Steelers’ backup running backs got dinged up in their Thursday Night Football game against the Browns. Adding Jennings would make sense for depth.
Pat Freiermuth

PIT Tight End #88

Pat Freiermuth caught 3-of-5 targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in the Steelers’ Week 4 loss to the Browns.

Freiermuth found the end zone late in the fourth quarter for his second touchdown of the season, tying fellow tight end Darnell Washington for fourth on the team with five targets. Washington managed to corral just two of his five targets but eclipsed the yardage total of Freiermuth with 27 yards while also adding a touchdown of his own. Both tight ends appear unlikely to contribute viable counting stats considering neither has seen more than five targets in a game during the first month of play.
Michael Pittman

PIT Wide Receiver #11

Michael Pittman caught 2-of-4 targets for 15 yards in the Steelers’ Week 4 loss to the Browns.

That makes two consecutive games with two receptions for the veteran X receiver, who continues to be handily outplayed by teammate Roman Wilson. Pittman brings his season total in receptions to seven after missing Week 2 with injury and remains largely confined to the short areas of the field. The Steelers made good on their promise to increase their 12-personnel utilization against the Browns, and it was Pittman who saw his route participation suffer the most. Pittman is quickly bordering drop candidate territory ahead of a Week 5 meeting with the Colts.
