PITTSBURGH — This article originally appeared on SteelersNOW.com.
Michael Pittman Jr. wants to rejoin the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense when it takes the field against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night. The seventh-year receiver, who for now is still on the injured reserve, told the team he’s ready to get back from the foot injury that has kept him out since last month.
“It feels good, and today was probably my best day yet,” Pittman told Steelers Now after Thursday’s practice indoors at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex. “Yesterday was good, today was even better, so definitely trending the right way. … I would love the opportunity to play this week, but that’s out of my control. I definitely let them know today that I thought it was good.”
Pittman warmed up with the rest of the team, then worked off to the side with the other players on injured reserve.
