Germie Bernard Ready to Step Up for Steelers Following Pittman Injury

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy announced that wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. will be out for multiple games due to a foot injury, which could lead to his placement on injured reserve.

In light of this setback, rookie receiver Germie Bernard expressed his readiness to receive more targets during the upcoming game against the Indianapolis Colts. Bernard, who has recorded seven receptions for 60 yards in his first four NFL games, emphasized his consistent preparation and willingness to step up in Pittman's absence.

Bernard noted that he has been learning from veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers and is eager to contribute to the team's success. As the Steelers prepare to face the Colts, they are currently favored by 2.5 points, and Bernard hopes to deliver a strong performance at Acrisure Stadium.
