MyCole Pruitt - Doesn't practice Thursday Pruitt (knee) did not practice Thursday, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Pruitt initially suffered a knee injury in Week 2, causing him to miss four contests, but he was able to return to game action in Week 7. He wasn't listed on the injury report Wednesday, so perhaps this is more of a rest day or Pruitt may have suffered an aggravation of some sort. Pruitt has played 42 percent of the offensive snaps in games he's been healthy for this season, catching two of three targets for 19 yards. He's mainly been a blocker.

Zach Frazier - Past ankle injury Frazier (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Impact It appears the Steelers' Week 9 bye was enough time for Frazier to move past his ankle injury. Now that the rookie from West Virginia is back at full health, he's expected to serve as the Steelers' top center in Week 10's matchup against the Commanders.

Cordarrelle Patterson - 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 - Healthy after bye week Fields (hamstring) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Impact Fields was inactive in Week 8 against the Giants, but he's back healthy following Pittsburgh's Week 9 bye. Having lost the starting job to Russell Wilson, who proceeded to post a 2-0 record, Fields will work as Wilson's backup Sunday against the Commanders. Fields' return will likely relegate Kyle Allen to gameday inactive status.

Ben Skowronek - 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.

Russell Wilson - Welcoming new wide receiver The Steelers added WR Mike Williams via a trade from the Jets on Tuesday, giving Wilson another threat to the passing game, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Wilson has fared well in his two starts for Pittsburgh, completing 36 of 57 (63.2 percent) of his passes for 542 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions and recording 10 yards and another TD on six carries. With a 2-0 record under his belt so far, he now will welcome a wide receiver that's well suited to his strengths, namely his deep-ball acumen. Williams likely will need some time to acclimate to a new system, but he should join George Pickens as the team's top options at the position in due time, which could be a boon for Wilson's prospects.

Preston Smith - Gets moved to AFC North The Packers agreed to trade Smith to the Steelers on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Smith's snap share had dwindled to less than 50 percent in three of the last five games, and through nine contests, he accrued just 2.5 sacks on the season, so it's unsurprising that the Packers are opting to move on from the soon-to-be 32-year-old in favor of younger pass-rushing talent currently on the team. With the Steelers, Smith will work opposite standout T.J. Watt, which may open up more opportunities for him to get to opposing quarterbacks.

Mike Williams - Moving to Steel City The Jets agreed to trade Williams to the Steelers in Tuesday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
Impact As for compensation, Pittsburgh is sending a 2025 fifth-round pick to New York for the wide receiver's services. Despite playing in all nine games this season, Williams wasn't able to develop chemistry with QB Aaron Rodgers, surpassing 50 receiving yards only one time and scoring no touchdowns. Upon joining the Steelers, Williams will team up with George Pickens at the top of the WR depth chart.
