Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. is set to be placed on the team's injured reserve list following a recent setback. The injury involves an aggravation of his left foot issue, which previously caused him to miss a game earlier this season.
Pittman was observed wearing a walking boot and using a mobility scooter during practice. Head coach Mike McCarthy confirmed that the receiver is expected to be sidelined for multiple weeks.
Under league rules, Pittman must miss at least four games. This means his earliest possible return date is November 15th, when the Steelers face the Cincinnati Bengals, following their bye week.
