What happened: Pittman will not be available for Sunday after being listed out with a foot injury. That removes him from Pittsburgh's Week 2 plans against New England.

Why it matters: That leaves the Steelers with one fewer option as they set their game-day receiver rotation. The move also settles a notable availability question before final inactives are announced.

What to watch: Watch the Steelers' inactive list for the final receiver mix and any corresponding roster move. New England gets Pittsburgh in Week 2 with Pittman already ruled out.
