What happened: Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. aggravated a left foot injury during Wednesday's practice. Head coach Mike McCarthy expects the setback to sideline the receiver for multiple weeks.

Why it matters: The aggravation involves the same plantar fasciitis that caused Pittman to miss the team's Week 2 game. His extended absence removes a primary passing target from the Pittsburgh offense.

What to watch: The Steelers will adjust their receiver rotation using depth options. The team has not established a firm timeline for his return.
