Riley Nowakowski enters the season with no injury concerns attached to his name in this week's reporting. Behind The Steel Curtain, in a piece by Ryland Bickley, frames the Steelers as looking healthy heading into their Week 1 matchup against the Falcons, which means Nowakowski is not among any players being flagged as questionable or limited ahead of the opener. That is the extent of what the coverage establishes this week: no injury watch, and no reported role change or transaction involving him. Nothing in the reporting suggests a setback, and no timeline or availability question has been raised for him.
