Sims caught two of his three targets for minus-1 yard and carried twice for 21 yards in Sunday's 35-13 loss to the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

Sims was on the field for 14 of the Steelers' 76 snaps on offense, narrowly outpacing Miles Boykin (11) for fourth among Pittsburgh's receivers. Both Sims and Boykin are likely to see their opportunities expand beginning with the Steelers' Week 9 game against the Saints, after the Steelers dealt wideout Chase Claypool to the Bears ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. Fellow wideouts Diontae Johnson and George Pickens, tight end Pat Freiermuth and running back Najee Harris should all remain higher priorities in the Steelers' pass-catching hierarchy, however, so Sims could still struggle to see enough target volume to emerge as a useful fantasy option.

Sims (hamstring) is no longer on the Steelers' injury report Thursday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims missed the team's Week 7 contest with the Dolphins and was limited in practice Wednesday. His bump up to a full participant Thursday should put him on the field Sunday against the Eagles, where he'll operate as the team's return man on kicks and punts.

Sims (hamstring) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official website reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims was sidelined for the team's Week 7 loss to Miami due to a hamstring injury he picked up a week prior. The return specialist didn't practice at all last week, so his return Wednesday, albeit in a limited fashion, is certainly encouraging. Sims will have two more opportunities to upgrade to a full participant before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Eagles.

Sims (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims worked as Pittsburgh's return man the past two weeks but will sit out this weekend due to the hamstring issue. Gunner Olszewski handled return duties earlier this season and could reclaim the role Sunday.

Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Sims is dealing with a hamstring injury, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims has mostly contributed on special teams while appearing in Pittsburgh's past two contests, and he hasn't yet earned a target this season. If healthy, he projects to handle a similar role Sunday at Miami.

Sims wasn't listed on the Steelers' injury report Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reprots.

EDGE Analysis

Sims suffered an eye injury during pregame warmups ahead of the team's Week 5 loss to the Steelers and didn't get onto the field until the second quarter. The extent of the situation remains unclear, but he appears to have cleared the issue and should reprise his role as the Steelers' top kicker returner in Week 6.

Sims suffered an eye injury during pregame warmups ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

The extent of the injury remains unclear, but Sims wasn't in to start the game. James Pierre replaced Sims as the Steelers' kick returner and fumbled his first opportunity.

Sims (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Bengals, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims is currently No. 6 on Pittsburgh's wide receiver positional depth chart, and behind Gunner Olszewski for return duties. The 25-year-old will have to wait until Week 2 to try and make his season debut.

Sims is listed as the No. 2 kick returner and punt returner on Pittsburgh's Week 1 depth chart, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims spent most of the 2021 season on the Steelers' practice squad but earned a spot on the 53-man roster ahead of the 2022 campaign. However, the 25-year-old could struggle to see the field since he's listed as depth at receiver and is behind Gunner Olszewski for return duties on the Week 1 depth chart.

The Steelers signed Sims to a reserve/futures contract Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims joined the Steelers' practice squad in late September and was elevated to the active roster once during the 2021 campaign. He played just four offensive snaps in the team's Week 10 tie against the Lions and will now remain with the organization heading into the offseason.
