Sunday’s road game against the Buffalo Bills marked the fifth consecutive game that Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey has missed since suffering a foot injury during the team’s Week 9 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. On Monday, Heyward-Bey somewhat updated his status.
According to Jacob Klinger of PennLive.com, Heyward-Bey indicated Monday morning that he’s now out of his walking boot and no longer riding his scooter to get around. With that said, he doesn’t know when he’ll be able to return to action.

During his weekly press conference, last Tuesday, head coach Mike Tomlin gave a small update on not only Heyward-Bey, but sidelined running back DeAngelo Williams as well.
