Steelers Rule Out Another Player vs. Giants
Pittsburgh Steelers Injury Updates: Cordarrelle Patterson is the fourth player ruled out for the Steelers against the Giants.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have ruled out a fourth player from their 53-man active roster for Monday’s home prime time game against the New York Giants, as veteran running back and kickoff returner Cordarrelle Patterson will miss the game, team spokesman Burt Lauten announced on Sunday.
Patterson has been out of action since suffering an ankle injury during the Steelers’ Week 4 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He had been a limited participant in practice on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and was originally listed as doubtful to play before being downgraded to out.
The 33-year-old Patterson is in his first season with the Steelers. He has made his biggest impact in his career as a kickoff returner, where he has been a four-time All-Pro. Originally drafted as a wide receiver, Patterson made the transition to running back in 2021, when he played in Atlanta under current Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith.
With Patterson out, the Steelers will likely turn to a combination of Aaron Shampklin and Jonathan Ward for their third-team running back and kickoff return duties. Shampklin was scratched from last week’s game against the New York Jets, while Ward was active as a practice squad elevation. Ward is out of elevations and would need to be signed to the active roster in order to play this week.
The Steelers had previously ruled out rookie wide receiver Roman Wilson (hamstring), center Zach Frazier (ankle) and second-year outside linebacker Nick Herbig (hamstring).
