MyCole Pruitt - Appears past knee injury Pruitt (knee) was listed as a full participant on the Steelers' injury report Wednesday.
Impact Pruitt suffered a knee injury in Week 2 against the Broncos, which has kept him sidelined for the Steelers' last four games. The veteran tight end seems to be over the issue, as he was able to practice without limitations Wednesday. Barring any setbacks, Pruitt should return for Week 7 against the Jets and serve in a depth role at tight end behind Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington and Connor Heyward.

Cordarrelle Patterson - 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.

Najee Harris - Doesn't practice Wednesday Harris (ribs) didn't practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Impact Per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com, Harris usually rests Wednesday, but the running back's absence this time around was attributed to a ribs issue. Thursday's practice is thus slated to provide added context with regard to Harris' status for Sunday's game against the Jets. Meanwhile, fellow RB Jaylen Warren is not listed on the Steelers' Week 7 injury report.

Tomlin mum on Steelers starting QB but all signs are pointing toward Russell Wilson
Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is keeping the identity of his team's starting quarterback under wrapsOCTOBER 16 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Russell Wilson - Takes first-team reps Wilson took the first-team reps at Wednesday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Wilson is being considered for the Week 7 start, but the Steelers coach either hasn't decided yet or doesn't want to announce it, telling reporters Wednesday that any decisions he's made are staying in-house. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network suggested Tuesday that Wilson is "in line to make his season debut" Sunday night against the Jets, even though Justin Fields has gone 4-2 as the starter while accounting for 11 total TDs (six passing, five rushing).

The most impactful in-season trades in NFL history
Trade season is upon us in the NFL, with the Jets acquiring Davante Adams and the Bills trading for Amari Cooper. Let's take a look at the b...OCTOBER 16
Roman Wilson - Limited action in debut Wilson failed to record a single target in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders.
Impact Wilson made his season debut in Week 6 after recovering from an an ankle injury that caused him to miss the majority of training camp and the beginning of the 2024 campaign. The Steelers' coaching staff decided to ease him into action, as the rookie wideout played just five of Pittsburgh's 67 offensive snaps in the contest. As Wilson acclimates to the offense, his playing time and opportunities should increase. He'll do so with Russell Wilson under center instead of Justin Fields, as the Steelers are planning to make a quarterback change in Week 7 against the Jets.

Scotty Miller - No targets against Raiders Miller failed to record a single target in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders.
Impact Miller played just 14 of the Steelers' 67 offensive snaps Sunday, operating as the No. 4 receiver behind George Pickens, Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin. The veteran wideout has now failed to record a target in five out of six games so far in 2024. Miller should be ignored for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Jets.

Calvin Austin III - Two grabs in win Austin caught two of five targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders.
Impact Austin's five targets Sunday matched a season high, while his 36 percent offensive snap share was a season low. The 25-year-old ranked second in targets among all pass catchers in the contest, but the wideout was unable to get much going with his opportunities. Heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Jets, its possible that a change at quarterback from Justin Fields to Russell Wilson could impact Austin positively, but fantasy managers should exercise caution before trying to fit him into lineups based on his inconsistent usage and production so far in 2024.
OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Van Jefferson - Not targeted against Raiders Jefferson failed to record a single target in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders.
Impact Jefferson was held without a target for the second time in 2024, despite playing 64 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps Sunday. It's possible that a change at quarterback could benefit Jefferson with Russell Wilson preparing to start in Week 7. Nonetheless, the veteran wideout will be difficult to trust heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Jets.
OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Shampklin - Non-factor in win Shampklin rushed once for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders.
Impact With teammate Jaylen Warren returning from a two-game absence, Shampklin played just four of the Steelers' 63 offensive snaps Sunday. In three games, the 24-year-old Harvard product has totaled just six rushing attempts for 17 yards, keeping him out of fantasy consideration with a healthy group of running backs in Pittsburgh headlined by Najee Harris and Warren. The Steelers will host the Jets in Week 7.

Steelers QB Russell Wilson 'in consideration' to start against the Jets in return from calf injury
Russell Wilson’s time may be fast approaching in PittsburghOCTOBER 15 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Zach Frazier - Won't play in Week 7 Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Frazier (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Jets, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
Impact He was seen wearing a walking boot after suffering an ankle injury during the Steelers' game at Las Vegas in Week 6, but per Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site, Tomlin also said Tuesday that Frazier is considered week-to-week. In his absence, Ryan McCollum projects to start at center Sunday.

Nick Herbig - Won't play vs. Jets Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Herbig (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Jets, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
Impact Herbig will miss his second consecutive outing as he tends to a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 5 versus the Cowboys. In his absence, Jeremiah Moon figures to continue to see an uptick in reps.

Report: Steelers elevate Russell Wilson to first team, QB in line to start Sunday
Russell Wilson has been elevated to the Steelers' first team in practice and is "under consideration" to start over Justin Fields on Sunday...OCTOBER 15
Justin Fields - Expected to lose starting gig Fields is expected to move into a backup role for Sunday's game against the Jets with Russell Wilson on track to receive first-team reps in practice Wednesday through Friday and th...
Impact Just minutes after Pelissero published his report, head coach Mike Tomlin met with the media for his weekly press conference and said that Wilson was merely "in consideration" for the Week 7 start, per Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site. Tomlin added that both quarterbacks will get reps in practice this week before a decision is made on a starter, but assuming Pelissero's report comes to pass, Fields looks like he'll be headed to the bench. Wilson won the starting job coming out of the preseason, but after he aggravated a calf injury in a practice leading up to the Week 1 game, Fields stepped in to start each of the first six contests. Fields led Pittsburgh to a 4-2 record while completing 66.3 percent of his passes for 6.9 yards per attempt and a 5:1 TD:INT to go with 231 yards and five scores on the ground, but now that Wilson has returned to full health after a week of full practices, he looks poised to reclaim the starting role. Given how well Fields performed over the first six games, however, Wilson could need a strong performance against the Jets to ensure he sticks atop the depth chart moving forward.
