Steelers Elevate WR Ben Skowronek To Active/Inactive Roster

For the second week in a row, the Pittsburgh Steelers have elevated WR Ben Skowronek off the practice squad to the Active/Inactive roster, the team announced today.

Skowronek served as a gunner last week for the Steelers, along with CB Darius Rush. He didn't log any offensive snaps, but he played a key special teams role in 11 special teams snaps and will likely once again serve as a gunner against the Denver Broncos on Sunday.

With Skowronek being elevated, it does call into question the availability of WR Roman Wilson, who was limited in practice yesterday after being a full participant on Thursday and was listed as questionable for the game on Sunday.

A player can only be elevated off the practice squad to the Active/Inactive roster three times, so Pittsburgh will be allowed to activate Skowronek one more time after this week before they'll have to sign him or keep him on the practice squad. Given that he's one of the team's two gunners right now, if he can play well the next two weeks, he'll have a solid chance to potentially earn a spot on the 53-man roster.
