#11WR Michael Pittman Jr. IRFoot (left) · Plantar Fasciitis
Estimated return Nov 15 Updated

Pittman (foot) said Monday that he resumed running last week as part of a program to return, but the wideout acknowledged that he's without a clear timeline to be activated from injured reserve, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Pittman has missed the Steelers' last four games and is now eligible to be activated from IR at any point, but based on the receiver's comments, he doesn't appear to be trending toward a return to action following the team's Week 9 bye. The wideout noted that his left foot injury that first cropped up following the season opener was originally plantar fasciitis but has since "morphed into something else." While it's encouraging that he's at least healthy enough to start running again, Pittman didn't indicate when he might be ready to resume practicing with the team.

#69DT Sebastian Joseph-Day IRTriceps
Estimated return Nov 27 Updated

Joseph-Day (triceps) was placed on injured reserve by the Steelers on Thursday, Teresa Varley of the team's official website reports.

Joseph-Day is dealing with an apparent triceps injury, and he will now be forced to miss at least four contests while recovering. In his absence, Gabriel Rubio and Kevin Jobity are both candidates to see an increase in workload on Pittsburgh's defensive line.

#14WR Roman Wilson IRFinger (left)
Estimated return Nov 22 Updated

Wilson (finger) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Wilson already had been ruled out for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, but the move to IR means that the third-year pro will be required to miss at least four games. Since the Steelers are on a bye for Week 9, the earliest that Wilson can return is Week 11 against the Eagles on Sunday, Nov. 22. He joins Michael Pittman (foot) on injured reserve, which leaves rookie second-rounder Germie Bernard as the Steelers' WR2 behind DK Metcalf for the next few weeks.

#99DT Derrick Harmon IRFoot
Estimated return Nov 15 Updated

The Steelers placed Harmon (foot) on injured reserve Monday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

After exiting Thursday's 27-24 loss to the Browns due to the foot issue, Harmon's move to IR ensures that he'll be sidelined through the Steelers' Week 9 bye. While Harmon is sidelined, Yahya Black could be called upon to take on an expanded role on the defensive line alongside Cameron Heyward and Keeanu Benton.

#73G Gennings Dunker IRKnee
Estimated return Nov 15 Updated

The Steelers placed Dunker (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

Dunker suffered an MCL sprain during Week 3 prep and will need to miss 4-to-6 weeks with the issue. Now on IR, Dunker will need to wait four games before becoming eligible to return to the Steelers' active roster.

#68OT Jack Driscoll IRUndisclosed
Estimated return Nov 15 Updated

The Steelers placed Driscoll (undisclosed) on injured reserve Monday with a designation to return, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Driscoll will now need to miss at least four games of the regular season on injured reserve before he is eligible to return to the Steelers' active roster. The offensive tackle is dealing with an unknown issue, and it is unclear if he will need more than the minimum required time to recover.

#34CB Donte Kent OutUndisclosed
Estimated return Nov 15 Updated

The Steelers placed Kent (undisclosed) on the reserve/PUP list Monday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Kent spent all of training camp on the active/PUP list, enabling the cornerback to start the regular season on the reserve/PUP list. The 24-year-old will need to miss at least the first four games of the regular season before he is eligible to return to the active roster.

#31CB Daequan Hardy IRUndisclosed
Out for the season Updated

Hardy (undisclosed) reverted to Pittsburgh's injured reserve Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Hardy is now set to remain with the Steelers despite having previously been waived with an injury designation. As the 24-year-old will be forced to miss the entirety of the upcoming campaign, he will now shift his focus to getting healthy for the 2027 season.
