Skowronek (hip) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Skowronek opened the Steelers' week of practice as a limited participant after missing the team's Christmas Day loss to the Chiefs. However, he upgraded to full participation Wednesday, suggesting he's since recovered from his hip injury. The 27-year-old is likely to serve as a depth piece in Pittsburgh's wide receiver room in the Week 18 matchup against the Bengals.

Skowronek (hip) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Skowronek opened the Steelers' week of practice as a limited participant after missing the team's Christmas Day loss to the Chiefs. However, he upgraded to full participation Wednesday, suggesting he's since recovered from his hip injury. The 27-year-old is likely to serve as a depth piece in Pittsburgh's wide receiver room in the Week 18 matchup against the Bengals.
Skowronek (hip) was a limited participant in practice Tuesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Skowronek missed last Wednesday's Week 17 game against Kansas City due to a hip issue, but head coach Mike Tomlin indicated Monday that the fourth-year wideout is expected to be back for Saturday's matchup versus the Bengals. A limited practice session to open the week opens the door for that to happen, and the wideout's participation level Wednesday and Thursday should provide further clarity. If he does suit up Saturday, Skowronek will likely take on his usual depth role among the Steelers' wide-receiver corps.
Head coach Mike Tomlin relayed Monday that Skowronek and Joey Porter are both "scheduled to make it back" for Pittsburgh's regular-season finale against Cincinnati on Saturday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports. Skowronek was unable to play against the Chiefs on Christmas day due to a hip injury that he suffered in Week 16 against the Ravens. He caught five passes on as many targets for 69 yards in the six games prior to his injury, and his return for Week 18 would bolster the Steelers' depth at wide receiver.
Skowronek (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Chiefs, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Skowronek suffered a hip injury during Pittsburgh's Week 16 loss to Baltimore this past Saturday. While he was able to return to that contest, the injury prevented him from participating in Monday's walkthrough and Tuesday's practice, and the 2021 seventh-round pick will be sidelined for Christmas Day. Skowronek's next opportunity to play will be in the Steelers' regular-season finale against the Bengals on Sunday, Jan. 5.
Head coach Mike Tomlin said Sunday that he's uncertain if Skowronek (hip) will be ready to play in the team's Week 17 game against the Chiefs on Wednesday, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports. Skowronek injured his hip in the first half of Saturday's 34-17 loss to the Ravens, though he was cleared to return to the contest. He finished with two receptions for 25 yards on two targets in the loss. Despite getting the green light to check back into Sunday's contest, Skowronek may be hurting now that the adrenaline has worn off. More clarity on his status for the Christmas Day game should come when the Steelers release injury reports Monday and Tuesday.
Skowronek (hip) returned to Saturday's game at Baltimore, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports. Skowronek picked up a hip injury in the first half but rejoined the Steelers offense after halftime. He'll look to build upon the two catches (on two targets) for 25 yards that he had accrued before leaving the contest.
Skowronek is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Steelers after suffering a hip injury. Skowronek surprisingly had two critical first-down receptions on Pittsburgh's lone first-quarter scoring drive. Expect Scotty Miller and Calvin Austin to see more snaps in Skowronek's absence.
Skowronek is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports. Skowronek was placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury prior to Week 3, and he'll be set for his first appearance since. He'll primarily play on special teams and is very unlikely to make any impact as a pass catcher.
The Steelers activated Skowronek (shoulder) off injured reserve Saturday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Skowronek was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster each of the first two weeks of the season, and he was then signed to the active roster in mid-September. However, the wideout was immediately placed on IR upon the signing. Skowronek was designated to return earlier this week, and with his activation, he could return to the field Sunday against Washington. If he is active for the contest, Skowronek probably won't see much work on offense given that Pittsburgh's wideout corps is largely healthy and that he didn't see a target during either of the two games he has been active for so far this season.
