Ben Skowronek

It's, it's a little bit different based on the fact that offensively, yes, they've had some players miss due to time, due to injury.

Talk about Michael Pittman Jr., now obviously Ben Skowronek, Ramon Wilson.

Uh, but ultimately, they- they've been okay on the offensive side of the ball.

Defensively, the cupboard is pretty bare in the secondary with Jamel Dean still working his way back.

Uh, but there's a couple guys that we know that will not be, that's certainly gonna play into this, into this game.

Um, Michael Pittman Jr., Roman Wilson, and my and your, Skowronek, um, is, is gonna be an issue.

TA, why don't you tackle that one there since we're gonna talk...

Uh, we'll, we'll get into the full MASH unit, uh, report, but-

And then you turn around and you've got Roman Wilson that they really have not said too much about this finger.

Uh, and then just the way that it looked, he probably ended up breaking it.

And then of course Skowronek, you know, left with that, what was it? I believe it was his calf kinda locked up on him a little bit in the first half.

Yeah.

You can kind of tell when they're, when they're like, "Yeah, I feel good."

Yeah, like Ben Skowronek did the other day.

Yeah.

"Yeah, yeah, that's awesome.

And, you know, you think about those blocks that Danny ran and, and the success he had with them, and like, yeah, part of it is that the Steelers generally had pretty good special teamers, but I think a lot of it is Danny and his sort of bag of tricks, too.

And then you think about that bag of tricks, and it's like, well, does Danny think those tricks are gonna work on the Steelers? Because the Steelers know the bag of tricks, right? Like, Christian Koonce and, and Ben Skowronek and, and Carson Bruner and all these guys, they know what's coming, so they ought to be ready for it.

But then, you know, is there some down the...

Are, you know...

He's so much fun.

The Steelers have already ruled out Michael Pittman, Roman Wilson, and Ben Skowronek all gone for this game.

The Buccaneers are more vulnerable to tight ends than any other position on the field.

And, you know, Fryar-Muth is still, like, 1A in the tight end progression, not by my choice, but that's how they use him.

And credit to him for doing this, by the way, because, you know, he lost a lot of pieces in this game.

There was injuries to guys that he's very keen on throwing the ball to, and, you know, Ben Skowronek, and J- Jeremy Bernard steps up obviously with, with [smacks lips] we didn't even mention this, but, uh, Pittman obviously now on injured reserve.

Mm-hmm.

So Jeremy Bernard steps up in this game.

Maybe he's gonna come back here, and obviously there was a scare yesterday where Keanu Benton didn't practice, um, with an an- ankle i- injury.

Um, he's upgraded to limited For today's practice, but keep one eye open on that one because might lose Benton there.

And obviously, uh, the only two DNPs were Roman Wilson and Ben Skowronek, um, with their respective injuries, and we don't expect them to play.

So that is the Steelers, Steelers injury report.

Nine targets on the day, ran 32 routes.

Uh, that shows he's in the circle of trust, and it's a good thing too with no Roman Wilson, no Skowronek, obviously no Pittman.

Someone's gotta catch passes here.

MarShawn Lloyd came up big for me last week.

Deebo Samuels is expected to miss some time with that hamstring injury, no timeline yet.

Vikings wide receiver Ben Skowronek, uh, ruled out for week six.

And then breaking news this morning, Jalen Hurts is also out for week six due to a superficial blood clot.

What the heck is that?
