The Pittsburgh Steelers have released their final injury report ahead of a big-time Week 8 clash with the Cleveland Browns at Acrisue Stadium.

Among the most notable storylines to come from the report is that wide receiver Ben Skowronek (calf) was ruled as questionable to play vs. Cleveland.

Skowronek suffered his injury in the first half of the Steelers' Week 5 win over the Indianapolis Colts and missed the team's following two games as a result.

He returned to practice as a limited participant this week, however, and now there's at least a chance that he'll suit up against the Browns.

Skowronek isn't necessarily an impact player on the offensive side of the ball, having logged 170 yards and two touchdowns on 12 receptions over 32 games with Pittsburgh.

Given that the Steelers have been incredibly short-handed at receiver with Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) and Roman Wilson (finger) on the reserve/injured list, however, Skowronek's potential return is a pretty big deal.

Skowronek is also one of the league's elite special teamers, evidenced by the fact that he was a Pro Bowler in 2025, and for a unit that's struggled this season, possibly having him back on the field in that role should help a ton too.
