Cordarrelle Patterson - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Two touches in victory Patterson secured his lone target for no yards while rushing once for no yards during Sunday's 18-16 win over the Ravens.

Impact Patterson hasn't been especially productive when healthy this season, but Sunday's Week 11 win marked the first time he was held without any yards during that 2024 campaign. As long as Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren remain healthy, it seems unlikely that Patterson will have much of a role in the Steelers' offense.

Tallies 14 rushing yards Patterson rushed three times for 14 yards during Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders.

Impact Patterson made his return to the field Sunday after missing the Steelers' four games heading into their Week 9 bye due to an ankle injury. He was on the field for just eight offensive snaps but still logged three touches. Although it's encouraging to see Patterson back in action, he hasn't been a reliable fantasy option when healthy this year.

Finally over ankle injury Patterson (ankle) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Patterson's finally healthy again after having sat out since Week 4. He's poised to reprise his role as Pittsburgh's return man on kickoffs Sunday against the Commanders. Patterson can also contribute at running back, but his opportunities will likely be limited with Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren both healthy ahead of him.

Justin Fields is Steelers' emergency QB vs. Giants after tweaking hamstring

Not playing vs. Big Blue Patterson (ankle) has been downgraded to out ahead of Monday's game against the Giants, Burt Lauten of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Patterson was limited in practice all week, but he still drew the doubtful tag due to an ankle injury he suffered in Week 4 against the Colts. The injury is severe enough for Patterson to remain sidelined for a fourth-straight week, and with the Steelers on the bye for Week 9, his next chance at suiting up will be Week 10 against the Commanders on Sunday, Nov. 10. Aaron Shampklin will once again serve as the Steelers' No. 3 running back Monday behind starter Najee Harris and backup Jaylen Warren.

Listed as doubtful Patterson (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Giants, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Patterson logged a trio of limited practice sessions this week, but he's nonetheless trending in the wrong direction for Monday's home game against New York. If he can't suit up versus the Giants, Patterson will get the benefit of a bye to rest up before working to return Week 10 at Washington.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in return to practice Patterson (ankle) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Patterson has been unable to play or practice since suffering an ankle injury during the Steelers' Week 4 contest against the Colts. His return to practice is a sign that the 2013 first-round pick is progressing through the injury, and his practice participation over the next two days will determine whether he'll be able to suit up for Monday night's game against the Giants. Through the first four games of the regular season, Patterson logged 16 carries for 92 yards and five catches (on seven targets) for 34 yards while operating as the No. 3 running back behind Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play in Week 7 Patterson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jets, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Patterson had missed the Steelers' last two games and was unable to practice all week due to an ankle injury, so it's no surprise he won't suit up for Sunday night's contest. Expect Aaron Shampklin to serve as Pittsburgh's No. 3 running back behind both Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren while Patterson remains sidelined.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Logs another DNP Patterson (ankle) did not practice Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Patterson has been unable to practice this week, and he is in jeopardy of missing a third straight game due to an ankle injury. He'll have to practice in some capacity Friday to give himself a shot to play against the Jets on Sunday. If Patterson is ruled out, Aaron Shampklin would serve as the third-string running back behind Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Opens week as DNP Patterson (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice session.

Impact Patterson has missed the Steelers' last two games after injuring his ankle in Week 4 against the Colts. He has yet to practice since the injury, and he is in jeopardy of missing a third straight game unless he's able to return to practice -- at least in a limited capacity -- over the next two days. If Patterson were to miss Sunday's game against the Jets, the Steelers would roll with Najee Harris (ribs), Jaylen Warren and Aaron Shampklin as their three running backs for the contest.

Set to miss another game Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that Patterson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact After exiting the Steelers' Week 4 loss to the Colts with an ankle injury, Patterson didn't practice in any capacity last week before being ruled out ahead of Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys. The 33-year-old doesn't sound like he's yet made much notable progress in his recovery from the injury, with Tomlin's decision to rule Patterson out for a second straight game early in the week suggesting that he's unlikely to practice in any fashion Wednesday through Friday. Additionally, Tomlin labeled Jaylen Warren (knee) as doubtful for Sunday's contest, so Warren's likely absence along with Patterson's should clear the way for Najee Harris to handle the majority of the snaps and touches out of the backfield in Week 6.

Impact After exiting the Steelers' Week 4 loss to the Colts with an ankle injury, Patterson didn't practice in any capacity last week before being ruled out ahead of Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys. Though Tomlin isn't yet ready to rule Patterson out for the Week 6 contest in Las Vegas, the 33-year-old doesn't sound like he's yet made much notable progress in his recovery from the injury. With Tomlin also categorizing Jaylen Warren (knee) as doubtful for Sunday's contest, Najee Harris should take on the majority of the snaps and touches out of the backfield, while Aaron Shampklin serves the top backup.

Won't play against Dallas Patterson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Patterson and Jaylen Warren (knee) will both be unavailable after neither running back participated in any practices during the week. Aaron Shampklin is poised to operate as the top backup to Najee Harris, while one or both of Jonathan Ward or La'Mical Perine are options to be elevated from the practice squad to provide backfield depth. Patterson's next chance to play will be Week 6 against the Raiders.

OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined Thursday Patterson (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact The same goes for Jaylen Warren (knee), leaving both players iffy for Sunday night's game against the Cowboys. For now, the team's to healthy backfield options are Najee Harris and Aaron Shampklin, with La'Mical Perine and Jonathan Ward candidates for elevation from Pittsburgh's practice squad ahead of Week 5 action.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Unable to practice Patterson (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Neither did Jaylen Warren, who missed Sunday's loss to Indianapolis with a knee injury. Patterson took advantage early on with six carries for 43 yards before halftime, only to miss the second half after injuring his ankle. He's now uncertain for Week 5 against Dallas, potentially leaving Aaron Shampklin as the No. 2 running behind Najee Harris, who would then figure to take on a huge workload (after playing 92 percent of snaps post-halftime in Sunday's loss).

Exits game with ankle injury Patterson left Sunday's game against the Colts after suffering an ankle injury, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Before his exit, Patterson carried six times for 43 yards and caught two passes for 19 yards. In his absence, Aaron Shampklin is available to back up Najee Harris.

SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to play more Sunday Patterson is expected to see more playing time Sunday against the Colts with Jaylen Warren (knee) ruled out, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Patterson is coming off his most productive game of the young season last week, rushing four times for 33 yards against the Chargers, adding three catches for 15 additional yards on five targets. Najee Harris will likely get all he can handle as the early-down back versus Indy, but Patterson should flirt with eight-plus touches as the backup. It's likely not enough to make Patterson a worthwhile fantasy play in standard-sized formats.
