Mike McCarthy shares positive update on Michael Pittman Jr.'s injury status

Mike McCarthy announced that Michael Pittman Jr. will return to practice in a limited capacity on September 23. Pittman, who missed a game against the Patriots due to a foot injury, practiced last Wednesday but was ruled out for Week 2. Though McCarthy expressed uncertainty about Pittman playing against the Bengals on Sunday, his participation in practice is seen as a positive development. The Steelers offense struggled without Pittman, highlighting his importance following a 58-yard debut in the previous game against the Falcons. Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard stepped up in Pittman's absence but the team aims to improve offensively.
