Out with concussion
Published: 2023-09-20
Olszewski (concussion) was a non-participant at the Steelers' practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official website reports.
Olszewski suffered a concussion in Monday's 26-22 win over Cleveland and he has now opened the week unavailable for practice as a result. The wide receiver will have to clear concussion protocol prior to potentially playing Sunday versus the Raiders. It's unclear if Olszewski has taken any steps to do so, but he has two more chances to practice this week.
Will not return
Published: 2023-09-18
Olszewski (concussion) will not return to Monday's game against the Browns, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Olszewski's absence will leave the Steelers with just four healthy receivers for the remainder of the game. He had recorded one reception for zero yards prior to leaving the game. He will need to clear the league's concussion protocols this week in order to suit up for Week 3.
Doubtful to return
Published: 2023-09-18
Olszewski is considered doutbtful to return to Monday's matchup with the Browns due to a concussion.
Olsezewski would need to quickly clear the league's concussion protocols in order to return. If he is unable to return, that leaves the Steelers with just four healthy receivers. He had recorded one reception for zero yards before exiting the game.
Healthy scratch
Published: 2023-09-10
Olszewski (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against San Francisco, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
The former All-Pro return man lost his role as kick and punt returner last season and was on the verge of not making Pittsburgh's active roster this year. Olszewski's next chance to be active on game day will come in Week 2 against Cleveland.
Makes 53-man roster
Published: 2023-08-30
Olszewski has made the Steelers' 53-man roster, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Olszewski was on the Steelers' roster bubble ahead of Tuesday's deadline to finalize rosters, but the receiver will remain with the team heading into the 2023 regular season. He didn't see much offensive work last season, securing five of seven targets for 53 yards while rushing eight times for 39 yards. He'll have additional competition for touches in 2023 after the Steelers acquired Allen Robinson during the offseason.
On roster bubble
Published: 2023-08-28
Olszewski is in danger of being cut by the Steelers ahead of the regular season, Mark Kaboly of The Athletic reports.
Olszewski spent the 2022 campaign with the Steelers but saw minimal work in the passing game, securing five of seven targets for 53 yards while rushing eight times for 39 yards. He took on some occasional return duties, but those might not be enough to keep him on the 53-man roster after Pittsburgh acquired Allen Robinson during the offseason. Over his three preseason appearances this year, he secured eight of 11 targets for 63 yards while rushing once for four yards.
Doubtful to return
Published: 2023-01-08
Olszewski is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Browns due to a knee injury, Burt Lauten reports.
Olszewski logged two carries for four yards before departing this weekend's matchup versus Cleveland with a knee injury. Steven Sims and Miles Boykin should both receive additional snaps in the second half behind starters Diontae Johnson and George Pickens.
