But he did line up for 11 special teams snaps.<\/p>\n<p>Skowronek has posted 58 receptions for 575 yards and 1 touchdowns in his NFL career. He played 46 games for the\u00a0Los Angeles Rams\u00a0from 2021-23.<\/p>\n<p>He also played five playoff games for Los Angeles. Skowronek was on the Rams active roster when they won the Super Bowl during the 2021-22 season.<\/p>\n<p>Last season, he registered 8 catches for 66 yards and a touchdown. He also recorded 9 rushing yards on 2 carries.<\/p>\n<p>The Steelers promoted\u00a0Skowronek to the active roster a second straight week with rookie wideout\u00a0Roman Wilson\u00a0listed as questionable for Week 2.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Steelers Promote WR Ben Skowronek From Practice Squad<\/h2>\n<p>The Steelers showed in Week 1 that despite massive change in the quarterback room, their best formula to win is strong defense and special teams.<\/p>\n<p>Skowronek can contribute on special teams. Against the\u00a0Atlanta Falcons\u00a0in Week 1,\u00a0he played 7 kickoff snaps, including 4 on coverage and 3 on the return team. He also lined up for 4 punt coverage snaps.<\/p>\n<p>Punt coverage could be even more crucial for the Steelers going forward. The team lost starting punter\u00a0Cameron Johnston\u00a0to\u00a0a season-ending injury during Week 1.<\/p>\n<p>The Steelers signed\u00a0former undrafted free agent punter\u00a0Corliss Waitman\u00a0to replace Johnston.\u00a0Waitman has averaged\u00a046.9 yards per punt in 19 career NFL games.<\/p>\n<p>New offensive coordinator Arthur Smith didn\u2019t deploy a lot of 3, 4 or 5-wide receiver sets in Week 1. But Skowronek can also provide depth at wide receiver if an injury occurs during Week 2.<\/p>\n<p>Skowronek started\u00a011 games for the Rams during the 2022 season.\u00a0He registered\u00a0the best statistical performance of his career during Week 14 of that season, catching 7 of his 8 targets for 89 yards.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Rookie WR Roman Wilson on Steelers Injury Report<\/h2>\n<p>Wilson participated more at practice ahead of Week 2 than he did prior to Week 1. That gave Steelers fans hope that the rookie would make his NFL debut in Denver.<\/p>\n<p>But Skowronek\u2019s elevation likely indicates that Wilson will not play.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson was limited\u00a0in practice on September 13. He and quarterback\u00a0Russell Wilson\u00a0are the two players listed as questionable on Pittsburgh\u2019s injury report.<\/p>\n<p>Roman Wilson suffered\u00a0an ankle injury on July 30 during a training camp practice. He needed a cart to leave the field.<\/p>\n<p>At the time,\u00a0ESPN\u2019s Jeremy Fowler reported\u00a0the injury \u201cdoes not appear serious.\u201d While he has managed to avoid injured reserve, Wilson didn\u2019t play in the preseason and was inactive in Week 1.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson caught\u00a048 passes for 789 yards and 12 touchdowns for the national champion Michigan Wolverines last season. He finished his college career at Michigan with 107 catches, 1,707 receiving yards and 20 touchdowns. He averaged 16 yards per catch.<\/p>\n<p>When healthy, Wilson could be Pittsburgh\u2019s No. 2 or 3 wide receiver this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyThe Pittsburgh Steelers elevated wide receiver Ben Skowronek from the practice squad with rookie Roman Wilson questionable for Week 2.
