Steelers’ Michael Pittman Jr Gets Seriously Questioned As Lingering Injury Issue Continues

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. is facing scrutiny over his performance while reportedly playing through a lingering foot injury. Team insider Nick Farabaugh questioned whether Pittman is doing more harm than good playing through painful plantar fasciitis, noting that the receiver has a heavy limp in the locker room. Through three games with the Steelers, Pittman has recorded seven receptions for 89 yards.

Steeler Nation suggests head coach Mike McCarthy should consider resting Pittman to avoid worsening the injury. Potential internal replacements mentioned to absorb snaps include Roman Wilson, who has 188 receiving yards this season, and rookie Germie Bernard.
