Makes lone field-goal attempt Boswell made his lone field-goal attempt while converting both of his extra-point tries during Saturday's 34-17 loss to Baltimore.

Impact Boswell had made multiple field goals in each of the five games leading up to Saturday's Week 16 tilt, but he had limited opportunities to kick against Baltimore. However, he remained perfect once again and maintained his status as one of the league's most productive kickers this season, as he's converted 39 of 42 field-goal attempts while making all 32 of his extra-point tries.

Reaches end zone in Week 16 Patterson secured his lone target for a 12-yard touchdown during Saturday's 34-17 loss to the Ravens.

Impact Although Patterson scored his first touchdown of the season Saturday, he was limited to single-digit offensive snaps for a third consecutive week. Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren have stayed healthy for most of the season, so Patterson hasn't had much of a role on offense.

Racks up 24 yards in loss Williams secured all three of his targets for 24 yards during Saturday's 34-17 loss to Baltimore.

Impact Williams continued to see a slightly increased role Saturday since George Pickens (hamstring) was sidelined for a third consecutive game. Williams has racked up double-digit receiving yards in each of the last three matchups, securing seven of nine targets for 75 yards during that time. His fantasy value remains limited, and his role could decrease next week since head coach Mike Tomlin has said that Pickens has a "real chance" to play against Kansas City.

Limited work in defeat Jefferson secured two of three targets for 27 yards during Saturday's 34-17 loss to the Ravens.'

Impact Even though the Steelers were without George Pickens (hamstring) for a second consecutive game Saturday, Jefferson was unable to make a significant impact. Head coach Mike Tomlin said Sunday that Pickens has a "real chance" to return to action against Kansas City on Wednesday, so Jefferson seems unlikely to have a sizable role in Week 17.

Limited on practice estimate Pickens (hamstring) was listed as limited on Sunday's practice estimate, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact The Steelers faced the Ravens on Saturday, so while the team didn't actually practice Sunday, Pickens' limited listing is notable nonetheless, considering he didn't practice leading up to Week 16 action. The wideout has missed the Steelers' last three games, but head coach Mike Tomlin noted earlier Sunday that Pickens is among the team's injured players who has a "real chance" to play against the Chiefs on Wednesday.

Has a chance to play Wednesday Head coach Mike Tomlin said Sunday that Pickens (hamstring) has a "real chance" to play against the Chiefs on Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN reports.

Impact Pickens, who sustained a hamstring injury prior to Week 14 action, has missed the Steelers' last three games, but it looks like he could be trending in the right direction as Wednesday's contest approaches. In any case, added context regarding the wideout's Week 17 status is slated to arrive via the team's upcoming injury reports. Pickens was deemed a non-participant in all three practices leading up to Saturday's loss to the Ravens.

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.

Quiet in loss to Baltimore Freiermuth recorded three receptions on three targets for 16 yards in Saturday's 34-17 loss to the Ravens.

Impact Freiermuth had either topped 50 receiving yards or scored a touchdown in four straight games, though his momentum was halted in Saturday's loss. His longest gain went for just seven yards, and two of his caches came with Pittsburgh down multiple scores in the fourth quarter. Freiermuth should be more involved in Week 17 against the Chiefs, though his ability to rack up stats remains inconsistent.

Leading receiver again Austin recorded four receptions on five targets for 65 yards in Saturday's 34-17 loss to the Ravens.

Impact Austin led the Steelers in receiving yards and tied for the team lead in targets with George Pickens (hamstring) still sidelined. He had only six yards at halftime, though he came alive on Pittsburgh's second possession of the second half with two catches for 60 yards -- highlighted by an impressive toe-tapping catch that went for 44 yards. Austin has topped 60 receiving yards in consecutive games and half of his last six contests.

Role decreases against Ravens Harris rushed the ball nine times for 42 yards in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Ravens. He did not record a catch on one target.

Impact Harris took a surprising secondary role to Jaylen Warren in the contest, as he had nine touches compared to Warren's 17. It's unclear whether that was due to his recent ineffectiveness -- he's averaged only 3.2 yards per carry since Week 10 -- or because of a miscue in Pittsburgh's Week 15 loss to the Eagles. Regardless of the explanation, Harris has 16 total touches in his last two games, making it difficult to trust his role in a Week 17 showdown with the Chiefs.

Works as lead back in Week 16 Warren rushed the ball 12 times for 48 yards in Saturday's 34-17 loss to the Ravens. He added five receptions on five targets for 44 yards.

Impact Warren has had inconsistent usage throughout the season, almost always working behind Najee Harris and even behind Cordarrelle Patterson on occasion. However, Warren led the backfield in Saturday's loss, totaling 17 touches compared to nine for Harris. He was particularly effective as a pass catcher, tallying long gains of 13 and 12 yards. It's unclear whether this usage will carry forward, though Harris has struggled with inefficiency for the last several weeks.

Key mistakes in loss to Ravens Wilson completed 22 of 33 passes for 217 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Saturday's 34-17 loss to the Ravens. He added three rushes for 27 yards while also losing a f...

Impact Wilson's stat line was mediocre, particularly considering he remained without George Pickens (hamstring). He was able to get rid of the ball quickly on several occasions, allowing Jaylen Warren and others to pick up yards after the catch while also connecting on deep shots of 44 and 21 yards to Calvin Austin and Van Jefferson, respectively. However, two key mistakes overshadowed the positives, the first of which was when he lost a fumble deep in Baltimore territory after a 19-yard scramble early in the second quarter. Wilson then threw a pick-six early in the final quarter in what turned out to be the decisive sequence of the game. Wilson has now failed to throw for at least 225 yards in his last three matchups -- all of which have come without Pickens.

Dealing with knee injury Coach Mike Tomlin clarified that Porter suffered a knee injury in Saturday's loss to the Ravens, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Porter's injury was initially deemed a calf issue, but it was determined the knee injury was causing deferred pain to the calf area. Porter was originally injured in the first half, tried to return in the third quarter, but was eventually ruled out for the remainder of the contest. The Steelers face the Chiefs on Wednesday, making it a short week for Porter to try and get healthy.

Ruled out Saturday Porter (calf) was ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's game against the Ravens, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Porter exited with a calf injury during the first half. The 24-year-old tried to overcome the issue and returned to the field in the third quarter, but it appears this issue will ultimately be too signficant for him to continue. He'll now have a short time to get healthy before Pittsburgh plays on Christmas Day versus Kansas City, leaving just three days between games. In Porter's absence, reserve corners Cory Trice and James Pierre will have to take on bigger roles versus Baltimore.
