Michael Pittman Jr. of the Pittsburgh Steelers is set to miss multiple weeks due to a reinjured foot sustained during practice. Pittman, who has recorded only 89 yards on the season, was already having a challenging year. His absence opens up opportunities for Roman Wilson, who has recently emerged as a target for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, following a couple of strong performances in Weeks 3 and 4. DK Metcalf is also expected to benefit from this shift in the depth chart.
