Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. out for multiple weeks with foot injury

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. will miss multiple weeks after re-aggravating a plantar fasciitis foot injury. The injury occurred during practice, and he was seen using a scooter in the locker room. Head coach Mike McCarthy confirmed the news on Thursday, October 8, 2026. The Steelers are considering placing him on injured reserve, which would sideline him for at least four games. Pittman, who was acquired from the Indianapolis Colts in the offseason, has had a slow start with only seven catches for 89 yards and no touchdowns. The team faces the Colts on October 11.
