BEN SKOWRONEK NEWS

Full go for Wednesday Skowronek (hip) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Skowronek opened the Steelers' week of practice as a limited participant after missing the team's Christmas Day loss to the Chiefs. However, he upgraded to full participation Wednesday, suggesting he's since recovered from his hip injury. The 27-year-old is likely to serve as a depth piece in Pittsburgh's wide receiver room in the Week 18 matchup against the Bengals.

Opens week with limited practice Skowronek (hip) was a limited participant in practice Tuesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Skowronek missed last Wednesday's Week 17 game against Kansas City due to a hip issue, but head coach Mike Tomlin indicated Monday that the fourth-year wideout is expected to be back for Saturday's matchup versus the Bengals. A limited practice session to open the week opens the door for that to happen, and the wideout's participation level Wednesday and Thursday should provide further clarity. If he does suit up Saturday, Skowronek will likely take on his usual depth role among the Steelers' wide-receiver corps.

Impact Skowronek was unable to play against the Chiefs on Christmas day due to a hip injury that he suffered in Week 16 against the Ravens. He caught five passes on as many targets for 69 yards in the six games prior to his injury, and his return for Week 18 would bolster the Steelers' depth at wide receiver.

Won't play against Kansas City Skowronek (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Chiefs, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Skowronek suffered a hip injury during Pittsburgh's Week 16 loss to Baltimore this past Saturday. While he was able to return to that contest, the injury prevented him from participating in Monday's walkthrough and Tuesday's practice, and the 2021 seventh-round pick will be sidelined for Christmas Day. Skowronek's next opportunity to play will be in the Steelers' regular-season finale against the Bengals on Sunday, Jan. 5.

Could have hard time on short week Skowronek (hip) could a hard time recovering on a short week, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Skowronek injured his hip in the first half of Saturday's game. He tallied two receptions on two targets for 25 yards prior to exiting the game with the injury. More clarity on his status of Wednesday's Christmas Day game will come in the next few days.

Back in Saturday's game Skowronek (hip) returned to Saturday's game at Baltimore, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Skowronek picked up a hip injury in the first half but rejoined the Steelers offense after halftime. He'll look to build upon the two catches (on two targets) for 25 yards that he had accrued before leaving the contest.

Injures hip Skowronek is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Steelers after suffering a hip injury.

Impact Skowronek surprisingly had two critical first-down receptions on Pittsburgh's lone first-quarter scoring drive. Expect Scotty Miller and Calvin Austin to see more snaps in Skowronek's absence.

Ready for action Skowronek is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Skowronek was placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury prior to Week 3, and he'll be set for his first appearance since. He'll primarily play on special teams and is very unlikely to make any impact as a pass catcher.

Activated off IR The Steelers activated Skowronek (shoulder) off injured reserve Saturday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Skowronek was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster each of the first two weeks of the season, and he was then signed to the active roster in mid-September. However, the wideout was immediately placed on IR upon the signing. Skowronek was designated to return earlier this week, and with his activation, he could return to the field Sunday against Washington. If he is active for the contest, Skowronek probably won't see much work on offense given that Pittsburgh's wideout corps is largely healthy and that he didn't see a target during either of the two games he has been active for so far this season.

Makes return to practice Skowronek (shoulder) participated at practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Skowronek has been on Pittsburgh's injured reserve list since he was signed due to a shoulder issue, but it now appears he could be approaching a return to the field. The Steelers have 21 days to activate him to their active roster before they'd have to keep him on IR for the rest of the season.

Moves to IR after signing Skowronek (shoulder) was signed to the Steelers' 53-man roster, then placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact Skowronek has been elevated from the practice squad for each of Pittsburgh's first two games but hasn't had much of a role in their offense. His move to injured reserve will keep him sidelined for at least the next four weeks, but presumably, he'll be a part of the 53-man roster once he's healthy after his signing to the active roster Wednesday.

Dealing with injury Skowronek is dealing with shoulder soreness Tuesday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Impact Skowronek has been elevated from the Steelers' practice squad each of the first two weeks of the season. However, that has mostly led to a special teams role, as he's only seen six snaps on offense. This injury could impact his role this Sunday against the Chargers and keep him on the practice squad, as Calvin Austin (undisclosed) and Roman Wilson (ankle) deal with injuries as well. Pittsburgh currently has Quez Watkins, Brandon Johnson and Shaquan Davis at receiver on their practice squad as well, if needed.

Back to practice squad Skowronek reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Skowronek was elevated to the active roster for the second consecutive week to kick off the season. The depth receiver saw the field for six of 66 offensive snaps, as well as 12 on special teams. All-in-all he recorded one tackle.

Elevated again for Week 2 The Steelers elevated Skowronek from their practice squad Saturday ahead of the team's Week 2 matchup versus Denver.

Impact Skowronek was also elevated ahead of Week 1 and played 10 snaps -- all on special teams -- against Atlanta. He'll likely have a similar role this Sunday while serving as wideout depth with rookie receiver Roman Wilson questionable to suit up due to an ankle injury.
