Pittman misses games

Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. won’t play against his former team when the Colts come to town on Sunday, and he won’t play for a while after that either.

Coach says multiple-week injury

Pittsburgh head coach Mike McCarthy said Pittman will miss time after re-injuring his foot, and it’s too soon to say whether he will have to go on injured reserve.

McCarthy explains injury timeline

It’s the same foot, so it’s going to be a multiple-week injury, McCarthy said.

“It’s the same foot, so it’s going to be a multiple-week injury”

Pittman’s contract and performance

The Steelers traded for Pittman in March and signed him to a three-year, $59 million contract extension, but he has just seven catches for 89 yards this season.

Pittman’s career history

A 2020 second-round pick of the Colts out of USC, Pittman had two 1,000-yard receiving seasons in Indianapolis but his production declined over the last couple seasons.

Steelers focus on health

Now the Steelers’ primary focus will be on getting him healthy after his foot injury.
