Steelers uncertainty grows with Metcalf and Pittman injury updates

The Pittsburgh Steelers face uncertainty regarding their wide receiver depth ahead of their preseason game against the New York Jets on August 21. Head coach Mike McCarthy noted that DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. are both unlikely to participate in practice this week, as they continue to recover from injuries. Both players missed the preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers. Their absence could provide additional opportunities for teammates like Germie Bernard and Roman Wilson to secure roles. Practice participation this week will ultimately determine their status for the upcoming game.
