Footballguys view: LOL. He had ankle surgery! There's no need for a "practice estimation" for a player who is going to miss a few weeks recovering. |

Free-agent QB Trace McSorley (Bears) is signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad, according to sources Monday, Dec. 4.
Footballguys view: With Kenny Pickett (ankle surgery) out of action for around a month, the Steelers need more depth at the position. Mitchell Trubisky will be the team's starter, and McSorley will compete in a reserve role/scout team quarterback. |

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett (ankle) had surgery on his ankle Monday, Dec. 4, and has officially been ruled out for Thursday, Dec. 7, against the New England Patriots.
Footballguys view: Zero surprise here. Pickett is out for at least a month, but the full extent of the injury is not known. There's a chance we won't see Pickett the rest of this season. |
Updating earlier reports, Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett (ankle) is scheduled to undergo a surgical procedure on his injured right ankle on Monday, Dec. 4.
Footballguys view: Pickett is expected to miss two to four weeks, though the full extent of the injury won't be known until the surgery is completed, so he could be out longer. There is a possibility we won't see Pickett for the rest of the 2023 season. |
Updating previous reports, Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett (ankle) is not expected to go on the Reserve/Injured list after ankle surgery.
Footballguys view: There are only five weeks left in the regular season. Injured Reserve would shut him down for at least four weeks. The extent of his ankle injury is not known, but he's already had surgery and now is out for at least two weeks. Pickett could be out four weeks, and there's a chance we don't see him again in 2023 as the Steelers may get bounced from the playoff hunt with Mitchell Trubisky as their starter. |

Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett (ankle) will not return to the Week 13 game because of his ankle injury.
Footballguys view: Mitchell Trubisky replaced Pickett and the offense suffered for it. Not that they were able to reproduce their Week 12 success against an inferior Cardinals defense before Pickett left. Next week, the Steelers will face a competitive Patriots defense with Trubisky the likely starter. |
Pittsburgh Steelers OG Isaac Seumalo (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury during the Week 13 game and is considered questionable to return.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (illness) did not practice on Thursday, Nov. 30.
Footballguys view: We're excited about the Steelers' offense now that they've moved on from OC Matt Canada, and last week there were glimpses of what they could be on that side of the ball. So long as this is not serious, Johnson as WR2 upside if he plays against the Cardinals in Week 13. |

Free-agent WR Jacob Copeland (Steelers) signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers' practice squad on Tuesday, Nov. 28.
Link to storyPittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett (ankle) could be limited in practice early in the week.
Footballguys view: The Steelers' offense looks much better now that they've moved on from OC Matt Canada, and Pickett's play will be a big reason they push for the postseason. Let's see what the young quarterback can do during the week of practice as the team prepares for a home game against the Cardinals in Week 13. |

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Calvin Austin (ankle) suffered an ankle injury during the Week 12 game. Head coach Mike Tomlin said the team does not know the severity of the injury.
Link to storyPittsburgh Steelers WR Allen Robinson caught one pass for 11 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12. He was targeted one time during the game.
Link to storyAllen Robinson II player page
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Diontae Johnson caught four passes for 50 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12. He was targeted eight times during the game.
Footballguys view: Johnson did have one potential touchdown that Mike Tomlin didn't challenge, or it could have been a solid day for him in fantasy leagues. The offense looked more viable this week now that Matt Canada was sent packing, so Johnson is worth a WR3/Flex look against Arizona next week. |
Diontae Johnson player page
Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens caught three passes for 58 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12. He was targeted five times during the game.
Footballguys view: The highlight of Pickens day was probably his recovery on an onsides kick to ice the game. This was a floor game for him, with only one big play in the passing game, but that's still better than his floor games under Matt Canada. Pickens is at least worth a what-the-heck flex spot against Arizona next week. |
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth caught nine passes for 120 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12. He was targeted 11 times during the game.
Footballguys view: Freiermuth was the focal point of the passing game under new offensive coordinator Eddie Faulkner. He'll be a hot waiver wire pickup next week going into a matchup with the Cardinals defense that just gave up a big day to Tyler Higbee. |

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren rushed for 49 yards on 13 carries against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12. He also caught three passes for 13 yards during the game but did lose a fumble.
Footballguys view: Warren's lost fumble slowed his momentum early, and his best drive was finished by Najee Harris in the end zone in a fantasy bad break. Reports of Warren being used more with Matt Canada fired didn't come to fruition, but the offense was improved and should help keep Warren in lineups even if he's still in a 50-50 committee. |
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris rushed for 99 yards and one touchdown on 15 carries against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12.
Footballguys view: After multiple items had Jaylen Warren moving ahead of Harris this week, Harris was the better back, and he got to finish Warren's best drive of the day with a touchdown. Harris is back to being a fantasy RB2 with the Steelers offense clearly more capable with Matt Canada ousted from the offensive coordinator position. |
Najee Harris player page
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett went 24-for-33 for 278 yards, zero touchdowns and zero interceptions against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12. He also rushed for five yards on five carries during the game.
Footballguys view: Pickett did better in the downfield passing game now that the offense isn't under the thumb of Matt Canada, but the offense still had trouble finishing drives with touchdowns. Pickett doesn't have fantasy value in 1QB leagues, but he played well enough to make Pat Freiermuth, George Pickens, and Diontae Johnson startable against the Cardinals next week. |

Footballguys view: We're excited to see what the Steelers' offense looks like now that they've fired OC Matt Canada. Perhaps we'll see better football from QB Kenny Pickett. If that's the case, then guys like Pickens (and the rest of the passing game) has more appeal for Fantasy GMs. |
