Pruitt (knee) did not practice Thursday, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pruitt initially suffered a knee injury in Week 2, causing him to miss four contests, but he was able to return to game action in Week 7. He wasn't listed on the injury report Wednesday, so perhaps this is more of a rest day or Pruitt may have suffered an aggravation of some sort. Pruitt has played 42 percent of the offensive snaps in games he's been healthy for this season, catching two of three targets for 19 yards. He's mainly been a blocker.

Pruitt (knee) was listed as a full participant on the Steelers' injury report Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Pruitt suffered a knee injury in Week 2 against the Broncos, which has kept him sidelined for the Steelers' last four games. The veteran tight end seems to be over the issue, as he was able to practice without limitations Wednesday. Barring any setbacks, Pruitt should return for Week 7 against the Jets and serve in a depth role at tight end behind Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington and Connor Heyward.

Pruitt (knee) is out for Sunday's matchup against Las Vegas, according to the Steelers' official site.
EDGE Analysis
Pruitt was a limited participant in each of the Steelers' practices this week, so his inactive designation doesn't come as too much of a surprise. The 6-foot-2 tight end hasn't played since Week 2 against the Broncos and has one catch for nine yards on the year.

Coach Mike Tomlin labeled Pruitt (knee) as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's not an official designation, but it sounds like the Steelers don't expect Pruitt to return for Week 6. It would be Pruitt's fourth consecutive missed contest. The Steelers will continue to roll with Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington and Connor Heyward in Pruitt's absence.

Pruitt (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pruitt sustained a knee injury during the Steelers' Week 2 win over the Broncos that has sidelined him for the team's last two games. The Southern Illinois product will likely have to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for the Steelers' Week 5 matchup against the Cowboys.

Pruitt (knee) will not play Sunday against the Colts, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pruitt missed Week 3's win over the Chargers and hasn't practiced since suffering the injury. Fortunately, the Steelers, have enough depth at tight end to cover for Pruitt's absence. He has one catch on two targets for nine yards through two games. It's not clear how much longer the Southern Illinois product will remain sidelined, but his next opportunity to suit up will be Week 5 against the Cowboys.

Pruitt (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
In Pittsburgh's heavy-tight end offense, Pruitt has played 68 offensive snaps and has recorded one catch for nine yards on two targets. With Pruitt out against Los Angeles, Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington and Connor Heyward will soak up the snaps.

Pruitt (knee) is not practicing Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pruitt has now missed back-to-back practices due to a knee issue, resulting in Pittsburgh's elevation of tight end Rodney Williams from the practice squad to the 53-man roster. If Pruitt isn't able to suit up Sunday versus the Chargers, Darnell Washington and Connor Heyward will figure to benefit most from increased opportunities behind Pat Freiermuth.

Pruitt (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pruitt likely suffered a knee injury during the Steelers' Week 2 win, and following Wednesday's DNP, it appears he could be in jeopardy of missing Sunday's matchup with the Chargers. The 32-year-old's practice participation Thursday and Friday will provide a better indication of his availability for Week 3.
