Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Tyler Matakevich is set to return to practice.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"Dec<\/div>\n
\n

On Thursday afternoon, the\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers announced\u00a0that they opened the 21-day practice window for linebacker Tyler Matakevich.<\/p>\n

Though Matakevich is set to return to practice, he will remain on the reserve\/injured list for the time being. If the Steelers do not activate him before the conclusion of that period, he will be forced to miss the rest of the season.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old suffered a hamstring injury against the Denver Broncos in Week 2 and was subsequently placed on injured reserve, where he has resided ever since.<\/p>\n

Through Pittsburgh’s first two contests of the season, Matakevich logged a total of 36 special teams snaps while recording two tackles.<\/p>\n

He began his career with the Steelers in 2016 as a seventh-round pick out of Temple. Matakevich played parts of four seasons with the team through 2019 before departing for the Buffalo Bills.<\/p>\n

In four years there (2020 – 2023), he posted 55 total tackles and an interception over 66 games while helping the team reach the playoffs each campaign.<\/p>\n

Matakevich then returned to Pittsburgh on a one-year deal in July. He profiles as a special teams ace and a major component of what the Steelers do in that facet of the game, so his return is certainly a welcome one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
