The Pittsburgh Steelers made a significant roster move before their Week 1 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons by promoting wide receiver Ben Skowronek from the practice squad. Known for his special teams prowess, Skowronek aims to strengthen a receiving corps that has struggled.

Additionally, rookie defensive tackle Logan Lee was placed on injured reserve due to a calf injury, leaving the team with concerns about depth on the defensive line. The Steelers will rely on backup players to maintain their defensive strength throughout the season.
