Wormley totaled five tackles (three solo) and 2.5 sacks in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Wormley matched his highest total of the season in the tackle column during Sunday's narrow win, and he effectively pressured quarterback Lamar Jackson throughout the game. Across six games since the Steelers' Week 7 bye, the 28-year-old has logged 21 tackles (12 solo) and 4.5 sacks.

The Steelers signed Wormley to a two-year contract Thursday, Mark Kaboly of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wormley handled a reserve role in Pittsburgh across 13 games last season, averaging just 11.5 defensive snaps per game. He stands to handle a similar role going forward, which doesn't bode well for his chances of emerging on the IDP fantasy radar.

The Steelers activated Wormley (knee) from injured reserve Saturday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wormley returned to practice earlier this week and proved to be healthy enough to play Sunday against the Jaguars. He'll slot into his typical reserve role, where he has averaged 8.5 snaps on defense per game.

The Steelers designated Wormley (knee) for a return from injured reserve Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wormley returned to practice for the first time since he was placed on IR on Oct. 31, as the team will have 21 days to activated the defensive end. Wormley has barely played on defense this year, averaging 8.5 defensive snaps, so his absence and impending return won't affect much from an IDP perspective.

Wormley (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Ravens, Chris Adamski of the Tribune-Review reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wormley underwent an MRI on his knee earlier this week that determined he wouldn't be available to play against his former team this week. The 27-year-old defensive end has played sparingly this season, and the reps he leaves behind will be picked up by Henry Mondeaux and Carlos Davis.

Wormley is undergoing an MRI on his knee Tuesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old picked up the injury during Sunday's win over the Texans while playing 11 total snaps between defense and special teams. The MRI results will provide some idea of whether Wormley will be forced to miss any games.

Wormley (shoulder) was listed as a full participant for Thursday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wormley suffered the injury during training camp, and he was unable to return to the team until this point. Now healthy, the Michigan product is expected to handle a decent workload behind presumed starters Stephon Tuitt and Cameron Heyward.

Wormley exited Saturday's practice with a shoulder injury, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stephon Tuitt (undisclosed) is on the sidelines as well, so the Steelers will be testing out an assortment of players on the first-team defense for the time being. Wormley could have a decent workload once he's healthy in 2020, but Tuitt and Cameron Heyward are the projected starters.

The Ravens agreed Friday to trade Wormley and a 2021 seventh-round pick to the Steelers in exchange for a 2021 fifth-round pick, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wormley stands to fill a rotational role along Pittsburgh's defensive line, just as he did in Baltimore during the last two seasons. The 26-year-old notched a career-high 33 total tackles across 16 games in 2019, but he doesn't boast much upside in terms of sack production.
