Steelers Rookie WR Germie Bernard Set for Expanded Role with Michael Pittman Out
Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wideout Germie Bernard, initially a non-factor in Week 1, is poised to become a key player in Week 2 due to the absence of veteran receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (foot), ruled out for the game against the New England Patriots. Bernard, a second-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, had limited snaps last week, primarily on special teams. With Pittman sidelined, he is expected to receive more opportunities to contribute offensively. Coaches have lauded Bernard’s development, and quarterback Aaron Rodgers has noted his ability to learn from past mistakes.
