Michael Pittman Jr. Spotted on Scooter With Foot Propped Up

The Steelers wideout's status for Week 5 is unclear after he was seen using a scooter in the locker room.

By Cole Hartwell

Michael Pittman Jr. was seen using a scooter to wheel around the locker room with his foot propped up on Wednesday, according to a report from FarabaughFB on X. The sighting raises questions about his availability for Pittsburgh’s Week 5 matchup.

What happened

Pittman was observed in the locker room on Wednesday using a scooter, with his foot visibly propped up. The report did not clarify whether the foot issue is new or related to something from previous weeks. No injury designation is currently listed on Sleeper, and the Steelers have not provided an update.

Context

Pittman has been a major part of the Steelers offense this season, playing 78% of snaps through the first three games. However, his production has dipped in recent weeks. In Week 4 he caught two passes for 15 yards, and in Week 3 he had two receptions for 16 yards. He has not scored a touchdown since Week 1.

Pittman is in his sixth NFL season and is 29 years old. He has been dropped in over 238,000 leagues on Sleeper in the last 24 hours.

What’s next

The Steelers have not commented on Pittman’s status, and his participation in practice this week has not been reported. Fantasy managers should monitor Thursday and Friday injury reports for clarity ahead of Week 5.

🏈 Fantasy impact

If Pittman is limited or out, the Steelers’ passing attack could lean more on other targets. However, the team has not shared details, so avoid making roster moves until more is known. Given his recent low usage and a Week 5 projection of just 7.7 PPR points on Sleeper, Pittman is difficult to trust even if active. Managers with safer options may want to explore alternatives. Watch for official practice reports before setting lineups.

Quick answers

Should I drop Michael Pittman Jr. in fantasy?

Many managers have already dropped him recently, but his usage remains high at 78% of snaps. Wait for more injury clarity before making a move.
