The Pittsburgh Steelers have cut a fourth player from their 53-man active roster for Monday’s prime-time home game against the New York Giants as veteran running back and kickoff returner Cordarrelle Patterson will miss the game, team spokesman Burt Lauten announced Sunday. .
Patterson has been out of action since injuring his ankle during the Steelers’ Week 4 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He participated on a limited basis in practice Thursday, Friday and Saturday and was initially listed as questionable before being downgraded.
Patterson, 33, is in his first season with the Steelers. He made his biggest impact in his career as a kickoff returner, where he was a four-time All-Pro. Originally drafted as a wide receiver, Patterson made the transition to running back in 2021, when he played in Atlanta under current Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith.
