Rico Dowdle Rico Dowdle Questionable for Week 7
Fri, Oct 23, 2026, 8:04 AM
Dowdle (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints in Paris, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
Analysis: The Steelers did not practice Friday because of poor weather in Paris, but if they had Dowdle would have been limited with the knee injury -- different than the toe issue he was dealing with previously -- for a third straight day. The Steelers will practice Saturday and could provide an update on Dowdle's status after the session concludes, otherwise his status for Week 7 will be revealed when Pittsburgh releases its inactives 90 minutes before Sunday's 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff. |
No go for Week Week 7
Thu, Oct 22, 2026, 8:28 PM
Echols (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Saints, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Echols suffered a hamstring injury in the first half of the team's 26-19 overtime win over the Buccaneers, and he will now be forced to miss at least one additional contest as a result. The cornerback plays primarily on special teams, so his absence won't have much of an impact on the Steelers' defensive approach in Week 7. |

Placed on IR
Thu, Oct 22, 2026, 7:28 PM
Joseph-Day (triceps) was placed on injured reserve by the Steelers on Thursday, Teresa Varley of the team's official website reports.
Analysis: 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. |
Ben Skowronek Ben Skowronek Ruled out Week 7
Thu, Oct 22, 2026, 4:48 PM
The Steelers have ruled Skowronek (calf) out for Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Skowronek did not participate in Wednesday's practice. He will now miss his second straight week due to a calf injury suffered in the Steelers' Week 5 win against the Colts. Kaden Wetjen may see some extra reps in his place. |

Added to injury report
Thu, Oct 22, 2026, 4:40 PM
Watt (calf) was added to the Steelers' injury report as a limited participant Thursday, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Watt was a new addition to the Week 7 injury report with a calf injury. It's unclear whether the team is just being precautionary with the veteran or if it could be a bigger issue, but the 32-year-old seemed to be moving well, according to Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com. Watt's limited participation Thursday is already an upgrade from Wednesday's availability, but Friday's practice will likely determine if the 10-year pro will play Sunday |

Rico Dowdle Rico Dowdle Limited again Thursday
Thu, Oct 22, 2026, 2:17 PM
Dowdle (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Thursday's injury report, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
Analysis: Thursday marked another limited session for Dowdle, who has been dealing with a knee issue in the lead-up to the Steelers' upcoming game against the Saints. He will have a chance to ramp up to a full practice on Friday before the Steelers make a final call on his gameday status. |

Logs full practice Wednesday
Wed, Oct 21, 2026, 7:43 PM
Elliott (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: It's the first time Elliott has logged a full practice since his 21-day window to return from injured reserve opened Oct. 8. The Steelers released Rayshawn Jenkins earlier Wednesday, and that's a potential sign that Elliott will be available to make his 2026 debut this Sunday against the Saints in Paris. |

Ben Skowronek Ben Skowronek Idle for Wednesday's practice
Wed, Oct 21, 2026, 7:37 PM
Skowronek (calf) did not practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: Skowronek was unable to play against the Buccaneers in Week 6 due to a calf injury that he sustained during the Steelers' Week 5 win over the Colts. He'll have two more chances to log at least a limited practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints in Paris. |

Rico Dowdle Rico Dowdle Limited by knee Wednesday
Wed, Oct 21, 2026, 4:39 PM
Dowdle was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Dowdle had missed three consecutive games due to a dislocated toe on his right foot before returning to action for this past Sunday's 26-19 overtime win over the Buccaneers. While playing 21 of the Steelers' 79 offensive snaps, Dowdle finished with seven carries for 40 yards and added three catches for nine yards, but he appears to have emerged from the contest with a new injury. His ability to practice in any capacity to begin Week 7 is generally a good sign, but Dowdle may need to upgrade to full participation by Friday to avoid carrying a designation into Sunday's game against the Saints in Paris. |

Logs seven tackles in Week 6 OT win
Tue, Oct 20, 2026, 9:36 PM
Brisker posted seven tackles (four solo) during the Steelers' 26-19 overtime win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: Brisker played every single defensive snap for the fifth time in six games this season, and he has logged at least six tackles in each of those outings. He's up to 41 combined tackles in 2026 and is on track to crack 100 tackles for the third time in his NFL career and the first time since 2023, when he played for the Bears. |

Team-high 11 stops vs. Tampa Bay
Tue, Oct 20, 2026, 9:32 PM
Wilson recorded 11 tackles (seven solo) during Sundays' 26-19 overtime win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: Payton led the Steelers in tackles Sunday, and it was the third time he's logged double-digit stops this season. The third-year linebacker is up to 55 combines tackles, which leads the Steelers and is eighth-most in the NFL. He should remain busy in Week 7 against the Saints, whose offense led by QB Tyler Shough put up 34 points in a win over the Giants in Week 6. |

Tallies first sacks of 2026
Tue, Oct 20, 2026, 9:27 PM
Herbig recorded six solo tackles, including 2.0 sacks, during the Steelers' 26-19 overtime win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: Herbig did not record a sack through the first five games of the regular season, but the fourth-year pro got to quarterback Jalon Daniels twice during Sunday's OT victory. Herbig is up to 18 tackles (13 solo) and one forced fumble through six regular-season games while working in a rotational role on defense. |

Game-winning sack in OT
Tue, Oct 20, 2026, 9:21 PM
Ramsey tallied 10 tackles (nine solo), including 2.0 sacks, during the Steelers' 26-19 overtime win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: Ramsey was responsible for two of the Steelers' five sacks on Jalon Daniels during Sunday's OT win. Ramsey's first sack came on the third play of the game, and his second sack on Daniels was on a fourth-and-8 in overtime to seal the game for the Steelers. Ramsey has accumulated 19 total tackles over his last two games and is up to 37 stops (23 solo), two pass defenses and one forced fumble through six regular-season games. |
Chris Boswell Chris Boswell Converts four field goals in win
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 8:55 PM
Boswell went 4-for-5 on field-goal attempts while making both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 26-19 overtime win against Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Boswell converted multiple field goals for the second week in a row and the fourth time overall in 2026. The kicker pulled his first field-goal attempt of the day wide left from 48 yards out in the first quarter, but he responded by adding makes from 52, 39 and 20 yards before the end of regulation. Boswell has now gone 13-for-17 on field-goal tries, including 4-for-6 from 50-plus yards, while making all 12 of his PATs over the team's first six contests this year. |
Pat Freiermuth Pat Freiermuth Two catches in Week 6 win
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 10:26 PM
Freiermuth caught two of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 26-19 overtime win over the Bucs.
Analysis: Freiermuth entered Week 6 questionable due to a calf injury, but he ended up running 41 routes on Aaron Rodgers' 56 dropbacks. The tight end just didn't do much in the box score and was targeted on just 6.1 percent of Rodgers' 49 pass attempts. Freiermuth has already scored four touchdowns this season but has just 180 receiving yards on 21 grabs across 29 targets through six games. He's a touchdown-or-bust fantasy option. |
DK Metcalf DK Metcalf Big volume in OT win
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 9:15 PM
Metcalf caught 11 of 15 targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 26-19 overtime win over the Buccaneers.
Analysis: The targets and catches were season highs for Metcalf, while the veteran WR came up just short of his second 100-yard performance in the last three weeks. Metcalf will take a 30-318-1 line on 52 targets into a Week 7 clash with the Saints in Paris. |

Rico Dowdle Rico Dowdle Ten touches in return to lineup
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 9:12 PM
Dowdle carried the ball seven times for 40 yards and caught three of four targets for nine yards in Sunday's 26-19 overtime win over the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Seeing his first action since Week 2 after recovering from a toe issue, Dowdle took a back seat to Jaylen Warren in terms of touches (16 to 10) and scrimmage yards (78 to 49). The volume was still encouraging for Dowdle given how dominant Warren had been during his absence, but the split doesn't help the fantasy value of either RB. Dowdle may need to get into the end zone to make an impact in Week 7 against the Saints in Paris. |
Jaylen Warren Jaylen Warren Workload shrinks in Dowdle's return
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 9:07 PM
Warren carried the ball 14 times for 50 yards and caught two of four targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 26-19 overtime win over the Buccaneers.
Analysis: While Warren still led the Steelers' backfield, his touch volume and production took a dip as Rico Dowdle returned from a three-game absence due to a toe injury, with Dowdle turning 10 touches into 49 scrimmage yards. As long as coach Mike McCarthy insists on using a timeshare between the two, Warren will be hard-pressed to repeat the outstanding numbers he compiled while Dowdle was on the shelf. Warren will try to make a bigger impact in Week 7 against the Saints in Paris. |
Aaron Rodgers Aaron Rodgers Leads comeback in OT win
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 8:57 PM
Rodgers completed 33 of 49 passes for 253 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 26-19 overtime win over the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Down 16-3 to begin the fourth quarter, Rodgers began the comeback with a five-yard TD pass to Darnell Washington before leading the Steelers on three straight field-goal drives. The veteran QB then put together a 12-play, 70-yard drive to begin OT that was capped with a six-yard score to Germie Bernard. Rodgers has tossed multiple touchdowns in four straight games, posting an 11:4 TD:INT over that stretch and giving him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 7 trip to Paris to face the Saints. |
Darnell Washington Darnell Washington Catches TD in win over Tampa Bay
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 8:10 PM
Washington caught four of six targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-19 overtime win over the Bucs.
Analysis: The Steelers entered the fourth quarter trailing 16-3, but Washington sparked the comeback with a five-yard touchdown to make it 16-10. It was the big tight end's second touchdown of the season, and he's now recorded 15 grabs for 156 yards and the two scores on 22 targets through six games. He's on pace for a career year in the receiving department and is a preferred target of Aaron Rodgers near the goal line due to his sheer size advantage. |
