News

  • Will play vs. Washington

    Matakevich (hamstring) is not on the Steelers' inactive list for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Matakevich was activated off IR on Saturday, and the 2016 seventh-round pick will suit up Sunday. He played on special teams in the first two games of the regular season and logged two solo tackles while playing solely on special teams.

  • Activated off IR

    The Steelers activated Matakevich (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Matakevich was placed on IR due to a hamstring issue in mid-September and was designated to return Oct. 24. With his 21-day practice window nearing its end, the Steelers decided to activate the linebacker ahead of Sunday's matchup against Washington. Matakevich played exclusively on special teams during his two contests this season and will likely continue to serve in that role if he suits up Sunday.

  • Won't play Week 8

    The Steelers announced Saturday that Matakevich (hamstring) is ruled out for Monday's game against the Giants, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Matakevich has had his 21-day practice window opened, but he won't be activated from IR in time to take the field Week 8. With Pittsburgh set to benefit from a bye after taking on New York, Matakevich's next chance to play will come Week 10 against the Commanders.

  • Practice window opens

    The Steelers announced Thursday that Matakevich (hamstring) has been designated for return from injured reserve, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Matakevich was placed on IR due to a hamstring injury mid-September, and he's now missed a total of five games due to the issue. The veteran linebacker will resume practicing Thursday and is eligible to be activated at any point in the next three weeks, so he could return as early as Monday's game against the Giants. He contributed exclusively on special teams in his two appearances this season.

  • Lands on IR with hamstring injury

    The Steelers placed Matakevich on the reserve/injured list Tuesday due to a hamstring injury, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Matakevich sustained the hamstring injury during the second half of Pittsburgh's 13-6 win over the Broncos. He finished the game with one solo tackle while playing 19 snaps on special teams. The 2016 seventh-round pick will miss at least four games and is eligible to return in Week 7 against the Jets on Oct. 20. The Steelers will look to fill Matakevich's role on special teams.

  • Questionable to return

    Matakevich (hamstring) is questionable to return Sunday versus the Broncos, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

    Analysis: Matakevich suffered a hamstring injury in the second half of Sunday's matchup with Denver, exiting the contest as a result. In his absence, there's some extra snaps available on special teams.

  • Lands in Pittsburgh

    The Steelers signed Matakevich to a one-year contract Wednesday.

    Analysis: Matakevich, a 2016 seventh-round pick, spent the first four years of his career in Pittsburgh before playing out the last four seasons in Buffalo. The veteran linebacker and special-teams ace will begin his second stint in Pittsburgh and will get a chance to compete in training camp for a spot on the Steelers' season-opening 53-man roster.

  • Now can practice

    Matakevich (undisclosed) was activated from the active/PUP list Tuesday, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

    Analysis: Matakevich has been sidelined since camp opened, but now he'll get a chance to compete for a roster spot as Week 1 draws closer. The 30-year-old has been a special-teams ace for the Bills in each of the last three seasons, seeing limited spot duty on defense. He'll work to earn a similar role again this season after re-signing with Buffalo in March.

  • Placed on PUP list

    Matakevich (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Matakevich will open training camp on the sidelines, but he'll be eligible to return to practice and play at any point this preseason, which starts Aug. 12 versus the Colts. The linebacker operated almost exclusively on special teams in 2022, recording six tackles while playing only two of his 324 snaps on defense.

  • New deal with Buffalo

    Matakevich and the Bills agreed to a two-year contract Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Matakevich will stay in Buffalo, returning to the team for a fourth straight year in 2023. The linebacker is a leader on the Bills' special teams units, playing only two defensive snaps last season in comparison to 322 on special teams. Matakevich recorded a career-low six tackles in 2022, something he'll look to improve next year.

  • First career interception Sunday

    Matakevich totaled four solo tackles, one pass deflection and one interception during Sunday's 40-0 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Matakevich recorded his first interception of his six-year career against the Texans on Sunday. The 28-year-old is a special-teams ace, but he isn't a viable fantasy option due to his lack of defensive snaps, as he only has 14 of them on the season, seven of which came in Sunday's blowout win.

  • Re-ups with Buffalo

    The Bills signed Matakevich to a one-year contract extension Monday. WGR 550 in Buffalo reports.

    Analysis: Matakevich only played 72 defensive snaps last season -- his first with the Bills after four seasons with the Steelers -- but he's one of the best special teamers in the league and Buffalo is happy to have him back. Matakevich led the Bills in special teams tackles (10) and snaps (71 percent) in 2020.

  • New special teamer for Buffalo

    The Bills have signed Matakevich to a two-year deal worth up to $7.15 million, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

    Analysis: Plain and simple, this is a depth signing, but the Bills are on the lookout for high-motor guys with special teams skills and Matakevich fits that bill. He's averaged more than 300 special-teams snaps per season since joining the Steelers as a seventh-rounder out of Temple in 2016 while finishing in the top 10 in special-teams tackles three times. Matakevich hardly ever saw snaps on defense with Pittsburgh, but he's probably got enough ability to serve as the primary backup to one of Buffalo's…read more

  • No tackles in loss

    Matakevich failed to record a tackle in Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Matakevich played almost exclusively on special teams and finishes the 2019 season with 18 tackles in 16 games played. An unrestricted free agent, his future with Pittsburgh is unclear.
