Steelers' Rodney Williams: Gets active roster spot
Williams was signed to the Steelers' 53-man roster from their practice squad Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Williams has been a member of the Steelers' franchise for the majority of the last two seasons, spending much of 2022 on the practice squad, while suiting up for 13 regular-season games in 2023. However, those games didn't lead to much offensive production as he saw just two targets and no catches. With MyCole Pruitt (knee) currently iffy for Week 3, Williams may see himself on the field again Sunday against the Chargers.

Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Moves to IR after signing
Skowronek (shoulder) was signed to the Steelers' 53-man roster, then placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
Skowronek was elevated from the practice squad for each of Pittsburgh's first two games but hasn't had much of a role in the offense. His move to injured reserve will keep him sidelined for at least the next four weeks but, presumably, he'll be a part of the 53-man roster once he's healthy after his signing to the active roster Wednesday.

Steelers' T.J. Watt: Records another sack Week 2
Watt tallied three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defended during the Steelers' 13-6 win over the Broncos.
Watt has logged sacks in back-to-back games to start the 2024 season. He got to Bo Nix on an eight-yard sack late in the second quarter, and the Broncos turned the ball over on downs two plays later. Watt led the league with 19.0 sacks last season, and he'll look add to his total in Week 3 against the Chargers.

Steelers' Alex Highsmith: Sacks Nix in Week 2
Highsmith recorded four solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, during Sunday's 13-6 win over the Broncos.
Highsmith recorded his first sack of the year Sunday. He got to Bo Nix for a seven-yard loss late in the first quarter, which forced the Broncos to punt and eventually led to a five-yard touchdown pass from Justin Fields to Darnell Washington. Highsmith registered a career-high 14.5 sacks in 2022, but he has accrued 8.0 sacks over the 19 regular-season games since. He'll look to add to that total in Week 3 against Justin Herbert and the Chargers.

Steelers' Minkah Fitzpatrick: Logs seven tackles vs. Denver
Fitzpatrick totaled seven tackles (five solo) during the Steelers' 13-6 win over the Broncos on Sunday.
Fitzpatrick was the second-leading scorer for the Steelers on Sunday behind strong safety DeShon Elliott, and the duo played a large part in limiting the Broncos to just nine points and zero touchdowns. Fitzpatrick has recorded 14 tackles through the first two games of the season, which has him on pace to break 100 tackles for the second time in his eight-year NFL career. The 2018 first-round pick will have his hands full against the Chargers' receiving corps in Week 3.

Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Registers nine tackles vs. Broncos
Elliott registered nine tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 13-6 win over the Broncos.
Elliott was the leading tackler for the Steelers on Sunday and he played a big role in limiting the Broncos to just 295 total yards. Elliott signed with the Steelers in March to strengthen the secondary alongside free safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and corners Donte Jackson and Joey Porter. Elliott and the Steelers will travel back to Pittsburgh to host Justin Herbert and the Chargers in Week 3.

Steelers' Tyler Matakevich: Lands on IR with hamstring injury
The Steelers placed Matakevich on the reserve/injured list Tuesday due to a hamstring injury, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Matakevich sustained the hamstring injury during the second half of Pittsburgh's 13-6 win over the Broncos. He finished the game with one solo tackle while playing 19 snaps on special teams. The 2016 seventh-round pick will miss at least four games and is eligible to return in Week 7 against the Jets on Oct. 20. The Steelers will look to fill Matakevich's role on special teams.

Steelers' Russell Wilson: Not in line to start Week 3
Head coach Mike Tomlin said that Wilson (calf) is not scheduled to be a full participant in Wednesday's practice, and the Steelers are preparing for Justin Fields to make another start Sunday against the Chargers, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Despite being named the team's starting quarterback coming out of the preseason, Wilson has yet to make his Steelers debut and has been a limited participant in practice since informing the coaching staff Sept. 5 that he was dealing with calf tightness. According to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Tomlin suggested that the same plan from last week is in place for Wilson this week, which means he'll likely remain a limited or a non-participant in practices Wednesday through Friday before being inactive as the emergency No. 3 quarterback Sunday. Pryor notes that Tomlin said he was unwilling to commit to a permanent starting quarterback until Wilson is fully healthy, but so long as Fields keeps guiding the 2-0 Steelers to wins, he'll most likely rank as the preferred option. Fields has been an effective game manager through the first two weeks, presiding over a run-heavy offense while having yet to commit a turnover.

Steelers' Justin Fields: Lining up for Week 3 start
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that he's preparing for Fields to make a third straight start Sunday against the Chargers, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. "We're readying ourselves around Justin. We'll stay in that mindset until something happens. Hypotheticals are a waste of time," Tomlin said.
Russell Wilson was named the Steelers' starter coming out of the preseason, but he's been inactive for the first two weeks of the regular season after reporting calf tightness following a Sept. 5 practice. Per Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site, Tomlin suggested that Wilson is in a holding pattern in his recovery from the injury and isn't scheduled to be a full participant for Wednesday's practice, so Pittsburgh will continue to go with Fields under center. The Steelers are off to a 2-0 start to the season largely on the back of a stifling defense and a run-first offense, but Fields has been an effective game manager thus far, committing no turnovers while completing 30 of 43 pass attempts for 273 yards (6.3 YPA) and one touchdown and presenting a threat as a runner (22 carries for 84 yards). The matchup with the unbeaten Chargers will represent Fields' toughest test yet, but if he can help lead Pittsburgh to another win, Tomlin will have a hard time removing him from the starting job even after Wilson is back to full speed.
