The Pittsburgh Steelers received important news ahead of their Week 3 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals: Michael Pittman Jr. is expected to return.
The wide receiver had been listed as questionable because of a foot injury, but he is expected to be available Sunday. Pittman missed the previous game while dealing with plantar fasciitis.
A major boost for Pittsburgh
Pittman's return gives a Steelers offense that struggled without him another important weapon in the passing game.
His availability gives Aaron Rodgers one of his key targets and could help Pittsburgh improve after a difficult start to the season.
Steelers face an undefeated Cincinnati team
Pittsburgh enters the matchup with a 1-1 record, while Cincinnati remains undefeated through the first two weeks.
With Pittman back in the lineup, the Steelers will have another important offensive weapon as they look to control the game and create more production against the Bengals.
