The Pittsburgh Steelers have made a couple of roster moves ahead of Week 1, elevating WR Ben Skowronek from the practice squad and placing rookie DL Logan Lee on injured reserve with a calf injury.

Lee had already been ruled out ahead of Sunday’s game, but it seems like the injury was a bit worse than had originally been feared.

Skowronek, 26, will now have a chance to contribute this week against the Falcons, having spent the preseason with the Houston Texans. After a promising first two seasons as a depth piece with the Los Angeles Rams, he totaled just eight catches for 66 yards and a score in 2023.
