Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Ready for action
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.

Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Activated off IR
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.

Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Makes return to practice
Skowronek (shoulder) participated at practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Skowronek has been on Pittsburgh's injured reserve list since he was signed due to a shoulder issue, but it now appears he could be approaching a return to the field. The Steelers have 21 days to activate him to their active roster before they'd have to keep him on IR for the rest of the season.

Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Moves to IR after signing
Skowronek (shoulder) was signed to the Steelers' 53-man roster Tuesday, then placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
Skowronek was elevated from the practice squad for each of Pittsburgh's first two games but hasn't had much of a role in the offense. His move to injured reserve will keep him sidelined for at least the next four weeks but, presumably, he'll be a part of the 53-man roster once he's healthy after his signing to the active roster Wednesday.

Ben Skowronek: Dealing with injury
Skowronek is dealing with shoulder soreness Tuesday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
Skowronek has been elevated from the Steelers' practice squad each of the first two weeks of the season. However, that has mostly led to a special teams role, as he's only seen six snaps on offense. This injury could impact his role this Sunday against the Chargers and keep him on the practice squad, as Calvin Austin (undisclosed) and Roman Wilson (ankle) deal with injuries as well. Pittsburgh currently has Quez Watkins, Brandon Johnson and Shaquan Davis as options at receiver on their practice squad, too.

Ben Skowronek: Back to practice squad
Skowronek reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Skowronek was elevated to the active roster for the second consecutive week to kick off the season. The depth receiver saw the field for six of 66 offensive snaps, as well as 12 on special teams. Skowronek did not draw any targets, however, but he was credited with one tackle.

Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Elevated again for Week 2
The Steelers elevated Skowronek from their practice squad Saturday ahead of the team's Week 2 matchup versus Denver.
Skowronek was also elevated ahead of Week 1 and played 10 snaps -- all on special teams -- against Atlanta. He'll likely have a similar role this Sunday while serving as wideout depth with rookie receiver Roman Wilson questionable to suit up due to an ankle injury.

Ben Skowronek: Heads back to practice squad
Skowronek reverted to Pittsburgh's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Skowronek played all ten of his snaps on special teams during the Steelers' win at Atlanta in Week 1. It looks like the Steelers aspire to be a run-heavy offense in 2024 as long as game script allows, so there probably won't be many weeks where Pittsburgh pass catchers not named George Pickens draw enough target volume for fantasy consideration in most leagues.

Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Elevated for Week 1
The Steelers elevated Skowronek to the active roster Saturday, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Skowronek will be called up for the Steelers' regular-season opener against the Falcons on Sunday due to rookie wideout Roman Wilson (ankle) being ruled out. With the Rams in 2023, Skowronek registered eight catches (on 12 targets) for 66 yards and one touchdown across 17 regular-season games. If he sees the field, the 2021 seventh-round pick will contribute on special teams while providing depth at wide receiver.

Ben Skowronek: Added to Steelers' practice squad
Skowronek signed to Pittsburgh's practice squad Friday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Skowronek spent training camp with the Texans and caught four of eight targets for 32 yards over three preseason contests. He was unable to make Houston's 53-man roster, however, and will now look to make his way back to NFL action via Pittsburgh's practice squad. Skowronek spent his first three professional campaigns with the Rams, compiling 58 receptions (on 93 targets) for 575 yards and one touchdown while rushing three times for 26 yards and another score over 45 regular-season games.

Ben Skowronek: Gets let go
Skowronek was waived by the Texans on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC Houston reports.
Skowronek was acquired via a trade in May after three years with the Rams. The Notre Dame product impressed early in camp, but ultimately wasn't able to earn a spot in Houston's deep wide receiver corps.

Texans' Ben Skowronek: Returns to practice
Skowronek (leg) practiced Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Houston reports.
Skowronek, who sat out last week's preseason contest, figures to see action in Saturday's finale against the Rams, his former team. Depth spots are up for grabs, and Skowronek will continue to battle with John Metchie, Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods and Steven Sims.

Texans' Ben Skowronek: Not playing Saturday
Skowronek (leg) is out for Saturday's preseason game versus the Giants, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
After coming up empty on two targets in the Texans' second preseason game, Skowronek will sit out the third exhibition. In his absence, Xavier Hutchinson could see increased work out of the slot.

Texans' Ben Skowronek: Shut out Friday
Skowronek did not catch either of two targets in Friday's 20-12 preseason win over Pittsburgh.
Skowronek was showcased mostly in the second half and both targets were thrown by fourth-string quarterback Tim Boyle. The 27-year-old wideout is vying for one of the final spots on the depth chart. His primary competitors are Xavier Hutchinson, John Metchie and Noah Brown (shoulder).

Texans' Ben Skowronek: Trio of catches in team debut
Skowronek secured three of four targets for 28 yards in the Texans' 21-17 preseason loss to the Bears on Thursday.
The trade acquisition had been impressing during training camp practices, and Skowronek carried over the momentum into his official in-game debut with the Texans. The 2021 seventh-round pick of the Rams finished second in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night for Houston, with the highlight of his performance a leaping snare of a Davis Mills laser for a 27-yard gain on the Texans' second possession. Skowronek recorded a solid 39-376 line and also scored a rushing touchdown with Los Angeles in 2022, so he certainly has the ability to make a strong play for a reserve receiver role on what is a deep pass-catching corps.

Texans' Ben Skowronek: Impresses early in camp
Skowronek has stood out during the first two weeks of training camp, Jonathan M. Alexander and Jon Poorman of the Houston Chronicle report.
The caveat here is that Skowronek is working with the second-team offense against Houston's second stringers on defense. What stands out is the receiver's size at 6-foot-3 and his ability to make contested catches. The Texans' top three wideouts are set with Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell, but Skowronek is making a bid to be fourth on the depth chart over the likes of Noah Brown or Robert Woods.
