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.

Steelers Injury Report
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.
Fields (abdomen) is listed questionable for Wednesday's game against the Chiefs, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Fields missed Saturday's loss to Baltimore due to an abdominal injury, but he could be ready to play on a short week after logging a limited practice session Tuesday. If he can suit up, Fields will back up Russell Wilson at quarterback while potentially handling a few snaps on designed running plays. If Fields is unable to play, however, Kyle Allen is in like to work as Pittsburgh's No. 2 quarterback.
Porter (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Chiefs, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Porter suffered a knee injury during the Steelers' 34-17 loss to the Ravens in Week 16. He was unable to participate in walkthroughs and practices following this past Saturday's contest, and he will miss his first game of the 2024 regular season Wednesday. Cory Trice and James Pierre are the top two candidates to serve as Pittsburgh's second starting outside corner opposite Donte Jackson due to Porter's injury.
Pickens (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Tuesday and does not have an injury designation for Wednesday's matchup against Kansas City, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Pickens sat out each of Pittsburgh's past three games due to a hamstring injury, but he showed significant improvement in practice this week, as he was deemed a full participant in Monday's walkthrough before participating in full in Tuesday's standard practice session. As such, the star wideout is set to return for the Christmas Day home matchup against the Chiefs. Pickens is 150 yards away from reaching the 1,000-yard mark on the campaign and should immediately resume his role as Pittsburgh's biggest offensive weapon in the passing game, while Calvin Austin will return to working as the team's No. 2 wideout after tallying 65 receiving yards both of the past two games in Pickens' absence.
Ogunjobi (groin) was a full participant in the Steelers' Monday walk-through, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Ogunjobi logging a full practice listing just two days before Wednesday's outing bodes extremely well for his status. The starting defensive end has missed back-to-back outings after suffering a groin injury in Week 15 against the Browns. If he doesn't return to the starting lineup for the Christmas game, he should at least be primed for a return as the Steelers play a tough Kansas City squad.
Jackson (back) logged a full practice listing in Monday's walk-through ahead of the Steelers' Week 17 game against the Chiefs, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Jackson looks good to go now ahead of Pittsburgh's soon-approaching game against Kansas City on Christmas Day. The starting cornerback was inactive for his first matchup of the season in this past Saturday's loss versus the Ravens. He likely won't miss back-to-back games, barring any major setbacks, entering Week 17 as the interception leader (five) for the Steelers.
Elliott (hamstring) was a full participant in Monday's walk-through ahead of Pittsburgh's Week 17 outing against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Elliot has missed back-to-back games for the Steelers, but he looks to be healthy for Wednesday's game after logging a full practice listing. The starting safety's status, barring any setbacks, should be a sigh of relief for Pittsburgh as the tough Christmas matchup approaches. He's played in 69 percent or more of defensive snaps in all of his 13 games this year, and he ranks second for total tackles among the team.
Pickens (hamstring) was estimated as a full participant in a walkthrough practice Monday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Pickens stated earlier Monday that he hasn't yet been cleared to return to action Wednesday against Kansas City, but his full participation in practice Monday suggests that he's certainly leaning toward that outcome. The star wideout has missed each of Pittsburgh's past three games while dealing with a hamstring issue. If he's able to return Christmas Day, it would be a big boost to the Steelers' passing game and could result in less looks for Calvin Austin.
