Steelers RB Najee Harris missed practice on Wednesday.
When the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, they could be doing so without their star running back. According to the team’s practice report, starting running back Najee Harris didn’t practice on Wednesday while he deals with an ankle injury.
If Harris can’t go against the Ravens, Jaylen Warren would be the team’s feature back. On the season, Warren has only 55 carries and 217 rushing yards. This is in seven games.
Harris has 645 rushing yards on the season and is well on his way to his fourth straight 1,000-yard rushing season to start his career. The Steelers also have veteran Cordarrelle Patterson who has proven to be a great fit in the Steelers new offense at running back.
Cordarrelle Patterson’s return highlights his unmatched work ethic and versatility, key traits that make him a standout for the Steelers.
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ gem of the 2024 free agency is, without a doubt, RB Cordarrelle Patterson. While many expected the former All-Pro kick returner to contribute immediately on special teams, his humor, work ethic on and off the field, and willingness to do whatever it takes for his team to win are why he is becoming an all-time favorite in the Steel City.
Patterson recently let Pittsburgh know that, whatever the team needs, he will be there. Fans caught a glimpse of his general manager-like recruiting skills during the lead-up to the trade deadline, but Patterson wants to do even more for the Black and Gold faithful.
Cordarrelle Patterson is willing to do whatever the Steelers want him to do to help the team win: “I’ve been doing it my whole life. So many guys, they get stuck on just having one title. Sometimes, you can get run out of the league doing that because you don’t want to do…
Could Steelers fans see the now-healthy Patterson utilized more in the receiving game moving forward? After all, the former WR turned RB has always possessed elite receiving skills in his repertoire.
Patterson will make his long-awaited Steelers return in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders after missing four games with an ankle injury.
RB Cordarrelle Patterson, the Steelers’ number one recruiter, had an amazing reaction to the Mike Williams trade news.
While the Steelers’ General Manager Omar Khan pulled off an unbelievable heist at the trade deadline, acquiring wide receiver and outside linebacker help for the team, he doesn’t deserve all the credit. One man has spent time and energy, week in and week out, recruiting receivers to play for the Steel City.
This would be none other than the Steelers’ RB Cordarrelle Patterson, who had recently attempted to recruit WR Davante Adams from the Las Vegas Raiders, who ended up with the New York Jets, and D.K. Metcalf, who ultimately remained with his Seattle Seahawks, and last but surely not least, the former New York Jet and newly acquired Steelers’ WR Mike Williams.
Patterson, realizing he had hit a homerun for the Steel City, jokingly had this to say on social media.
While Steelers fans understand how little impact Patterson truly had on this trade unfolding, as most of the credit belongs to the team’s front office, his witty humor and constant barrage of recruitment tactics brought laughter to Pittsburgh fans throughout the 2024 season.
The Steelers acquired WR Mike Williams before the trade deadline; was the fifth-round pick worth it, or did Pittsburgh overpay for talent?
Pittsburgh fans rejoice! General Manager Omar Khan has finally pulled the trigger on acquiring a fantastic WR opposite George Pickens when the Steelers traded for New York Jets’ WR Mike Williams.
The Khan artist, as fans often refer to him, had high expectations placed on him as Pittsburgh was hours away from the 4:00 PM EST trade deadline. While Williams is an incredible talent and a welcome addition to the team, did Khan overpay the Jets in this trade?
It was no secret that Pittsburgh needed a WR at the deadline, but it was always public knowledge that Williams was the odd man out in a stacked WR room in New York. With this being said, givHopkins? 2025 fifth-round draft selection, the same price that Kansas City paid for former All-Pro WR DeAndre Hopkins, seems a bit steep for a player who was being used so sparingly in the Aaron Rodgers-led New York offense.
While the Steelers’ front office did potentially create an unstoppable WR unit by acquiring Williams, the compensation package could have been cheaper, resulting in a B grade.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are acquiring WR Mike Williams from the Jets for a 2025 5th-round pick.
It appears Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson‘s fantastic recruiting has paid dividends for Pittsburgh, as the team has finally acquired their WR2.
Insider Adam Schefter reported on Tuesday afternoon that Pittsburgh would be acquiring WR Mike Williams from the New York Jets in exchange for a 2025 fifth-round draft selection, less than a few hours from the 4:00 PM EST trade deadline.
Williams, throughout his eight-year career, has 4,972 receiving yards on 321 receptions and 31 receiving touchdowns. He is most known for his seven seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers, and his best statistical season with the team in 2021—1,146 receiving yards, 76 receptions, and nine touchdowns.

The newly acquired Steelers WR has struggled to stay healthy, missing 16 games combined in 2022 and 2023. However, Williams seems revitalized and looking to make an impact on the Pittsburgh Steelers offense.
It remains to be seen how quickly Williams can get acclimated to the Steelers’ offensive scheme, but once he and QB Russell Wilson are on the same page, secondaries around the NFL better prepare to be cooked.
Fans of the Black and Gold are in a trade rumor frenzy after Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson teased the recruitment of WR D.K Metcalf.
Speculation and trade rumors are beginning to reach an all-time high as the November 5th trade deadline, at 4:00 PM EST, is less than one day away. While the Pittsburgh Steelers have been rumored to pursue any and all available wide receivers, such as Carolina Panthers’ Adam Thielen and New York Jets’ Mike Williams, the most recent and perhaps most exciting rumor involves none other than Seattle Seahawks’ former All-Pro WR D.K. Metcalf.
Fans of the Steel City erupted on social media when Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson, who has been actively recruiting several receivers for the team in recent weeks, seemingly began to recruit Metcalf following Seattle’s Week 9 loss.
It was rumored that Seattle could consider moving on from their star WR with a Week 9 defeat, but could Steelers General Manager Omar Khan be the hero of Pittsburgh, and bring this elite talent to the Steel City? Only time will tell, but here are some of the best fan reactions to the speculation and rumors.
I think I speak for all of Steelers Nation when I say D.K Metcalf deserves to be in Pittsburgh
It’d be amazing, but I’ve been hurt too many times to get my hopes up (but, maybe?) 😅😂 . . . DK’s my top choice prob. I’d settle for Christian Watson though. Packers have like 47 receivers anyway 🤷
I’m going to read too much into D.K. Metcalf being inactive for Sunday’s game against the Rams.
HOWEVER, IF he is traded to the Steelers, an offense with Russell Wilson, Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren, Pickens, Metcalf, Calvin Austin, and Pat Freiermuth would be fun to watch. pic.twitter.com/PKudKjJi5V
Days before the trade deadline, Cordarrelle Patterson recently hinted at recruiting D.K. Metcalf to Pittsburgh, fueling speculation.
Where there’s proverbial trade smoke, there’s bound to be speculative fire. Pittsburgh Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson has more than stirred up trade rumors in the Steel City, as he has previously and publicly attempted to recruit several veteran WRs to Pittsburgh, including Davante Adams and Mike Williams. He hilariously teased fans a little over a week ago about whom to pursue next. However, his most recent attempt is none other than former All-Pro WR D.K. Metcalf.
While fans typically take Patterson’s recruitment tactics with a grain of salt, with only a few days until the trade deadline, could Pittsburgh actually be in trade talks with the Seattle Seahawks regarding Metcalf?
What you up 2 bruh? @dkm14 . Just checking on you.!!!
The Seahawks lost their Week 9 matchup to the Rams, relinquishing their control over the NFC West to the now first place Arizona Cardinals. Could the 4-5 Seahawks consider trading one of their top receivers, if the price is right, to the Pittsburgh Steelers? General Manager Omar Khan could orchestrate one of the biggest blockbuster trades of the season, and acquiring Metcalf would propel Pittsburgh into Super Bowl contender status.
The New York Giants have ruled three players out, including punter Jamie Gillan, one as doubtful and OL Jermaine Eluemunor as questionable.
The New York Giants wrapped up their week of practice on Saturday afternoon in East Rutherford and despite some players taking a step forward, the team will be shorthanded against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football.
The good news is that linebacker Brian Burns (groin/Achilles), who is as tough as they come, returned to the field and head coach Brian Daboll indicated he will play in Week 8.
Daboll also expressed optimism that right tackle Jermaine Elueminor would suit up on Monday night despite missing his second straight day of practice.
“He did a walkthrough. I think he’ll be okay. But I can’t guarantee it,” Daboll said.
But that’s about where the good news ended and the bad news began.
Cornerback Adoree’ Jackson will not play again this week and the Giants could also be without several of his counterparts, Tre Hawkins and Cor’Dale Flott.
“He’s still got the neck. I don’t think he’ll make it,” Daboll said. “The other two guys, not sure if they will.”
Punter Jamie Gillan will also sit this one out.

Cordarrelle Patterson’s recruitment of elite talent to Pittsburgh has resumed, and the Steelers’ RB asks fans who to recruit next.
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Cordarrelle Patterson is becoming a fan favorite for the Pittsburgh faithful. While the Steelers’ acquisition of Patterson was aimed at boosting the running game and special teams unit, the running back has provided something even more valuable—his efforts in recruiting Steelers’ trade targets.
From returning kickoffs and delivering a dominant Week 4 rushing performance, to offering comedic relief during tough times for the team, Patterson has done it all. The running back made his best attempts to recruit Pittsburgh trade targets Davante Adams and Mike Williams, and with the trade deadline around the corner, Patterson is now asking fans who he should recruit next.
One 31-year old All-Pro receiver has been linked to the ‘Steel City’ the past few days. Could Cooper Kupp be the next receiver to hear Patterson’s legendary sales pitch? Or does the running back have another receiver in mind? As the trade deadline approaches, when will Pittsburgh make their move?
RB Cordarrelle Patterson is performing well as a recruiter for the Steelers as he attempts to sway Jets’ WR Mike Williams.
The ‘Pittsburgh-Davante Adams’ trade drama couldn’t be properly retold without mentioning the excellent recruitment done by Steelers’ RB Cordarrelle Patterson. While Patterson’s accomplishments speak for themselves, the seven-time All-Pro kick returner and running back earned his way into Steelers fans’ hearts through his social media recruiting alone.
While fans were left disappointed by the news of Adams being traded to the New York Jets, this didn’t stop the running back from his search for the next Steelers wide receiver. In his national talent search, he looked far and wide, but ultimately decided to trace the next recruit back to the New York Jets, where the new arrival of Adams displaced another Jet’s receiver, Mike Williams.
@darealmike_dub heard them boys trying to get you out of NY. 👀👀👀
Williams had recently signed with the Jets in the 2024 offseason, but health concerns caused his debut to be delayed until Week 2 of the regular season. The former Chargers’ receiver is having his great talent wasted in a crowded Jets’ WR room, and Patterson is looking to capitalize on the opportunity for his team.
