Steelers Place Ben Skowronek on Injured Reserve

The Pittsburgh Steelers have placed wide receiver Ben Skowronek on the Injured Reserve list due to a shoulder injury sustained in Week 2, which will keep him off the field for an extended period. In response, the team has signed tight end Matt Sokol and wide receiver Jaray Jenkins to their practice squad, both of whom have previous experience with the Steelers. The Steelers also signed cornerback James Pierre and released two players from the practice squad to make space for new additions. Additionally, linebacker Tyler Matakevich has been placed on Injured Reserve due to a hamstring injury, meaning he will miss at least four games. With Skowronek's absence, the Steelers may rely more on Rodney Williams as they adjust their offensive strategy. General Manager Omar Khan continues to reshape the practice squad to address team needs as they prepare for their upcoming game against the Chargers.
