Michael Pittman Remains Sidelined on Injured Reserve for Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. missed Week 7 while remaining on injured reserve during the team's 16-10 victory over the New Orleans Saints in Paris. Pittman's absence, combined with injuries across the receiving core, forced Pittsburgh to rely on practice squad call-up Brandon Smith as the No. 3 wideout and lean on backfield targets in their balanced offensive game plan.
