PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers have ruled veteran tight end MyCole Pruitt doubtful for their Week 11 game against the Baltimore Ravens with a knee injury, the team announced on Friday.
Pruitt first suffered the injury earlier in the season, leaving the team’s Week 2 win over the Denver Broncos on Sept. 15. Despite the right knee injury, Pruitt avoided a trip to the injured reserve list, and made his return to action against the New York Jets on Oct. 20. He played in the next three games, including 34 snaps against the Washington Commanders on Sunday, but missed practice all week this week.
Pruitt said the current issue is a reoccurrence of the previous knee injury. His prognosis is unclear, though it seems likely he will miss at least this week’s game against the Baltimore Ravens.
When Pruitt went down the first time, the team promoted Rodney Williams II from the practice squad, but Williams has since been released. The Steelers have blocking tight end Matt Sokol on their practice squad, should they want to elevate him for this Sunday.
