Former Steelers WR Dominating UFL
PITTSBURGH — Former Pittsburgh Steelers wideout Hakeem Butler is not on an NFL roster right now but he’s making waves in the UFL and could be on his way to a
Butler, who spent training camp with the Steelers last summer and now plays for the St. Louis Battlehawks, currently leads the UFL in receiving yards with 618, ranks third in receptions with 43 and second in touchdowns with 5. Fox Sports’ Joel Klatt has him as the frontrunner for 2024 Offensive Player of the Year.

Butler arrived at Steelers training camp as an intriguing prospect. His 6’5 frame stood out against the other recievers but in between his handful of circus catches, Butler didn’t produce much on the field.
But he does now have some extensive NFL experience under his belt. Butler’s enjoyed stints with the Arizona Cardinals, Carolina Panthers, Philadelphia Eagles and the Steelers, plus two Canadian teams and a pair of UFL/XFL teams.
Butler is finally hitting his stride with the Battlehawks and could be leveling up out of the UFL soon enough as offseason workouts progress in the NFL.

Pittsburgh Steelers get injury updates on five players, including ascending pass rusher
The Pittsburgh Steelers got some injury updates on Tuesday courtesy of head coach Mike Tomlin, with the most promising one being that pass rusher Nick Herbig should return this week against the Cleveland Browns.
Herbig suffered a hamstring injury against the Miami Dolphins and practiced late last week but could not make the final push to suit up against the Lions.
Meanwhile, four other players are working through soft tissue injuries as well. Cornerback James Pierre has a calf issue that has kept him out of the last two games, but he went through a workout on Tuesday and that could get him back on the practice field.
Tomlin seemed optimistic that Pierre would return to practice this week. He did not give the same level of optimism to guard Isaac Seumalo, who is still battling through a triceps injury.
Seumalo missed last week after not practicing, and could be out for another game if he can not practice. Spencer Anderson, his backup, will be limited after getting banged-up against the Lions.
Wide receiver Calvin Austin III has a hamstring strain that Tomlin said will leave as questionable this week, and will likely limit him early in the practice week. The same can be said for slot cornerback Brandin Echols, who is battling a groin injury.
