Lands on practice squad IR
Whyte was placed on the Lions' practice squad/injured list Tuesday with an unspecified injury, Erik Schlitt of USA Today reports.
Analysis: The 23-year-old will be sidelined for at least three weeks due to the undisclosed injury. Whyte joined Detroit's practice squad in early September after being waived by Pittsburgh.

Signs with practice squad
The Lions signed Whyte to the practice squad Wednesday.
Analysis: The Steelers cut Whyte on Saturday, but the versatile RB/WR/KR found a new landing spot. With Kenny Golladay (hamstring) and Danny Amendola (hamstring) battling injuries, Whyte serves as additional depth going into Week 1.

Let go by Pittsburgh
Whyte was waived by the Steelers on Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Whyte played in six games with the Steelers, though most of that was as a kick returner. The arrival of Ray-Ray McCloud basically pushed Whyte aside, though it's entirely possible the scatback could be a part of the team's practice squad plans if he passes through waivers.

Returning kicks during scrimmage
Whyte (groin) returned kicks during Friday's scrimmage, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Head coach Mike Tomlin relayed that Whyte was day-to-day earlier Friday, but the 23-year-old running back's work as a returner should mean he's good to go moving forward. It'll be tough for Whyte to secure a roster spot this year, but perhaps a strong showing as a returner can do the trick.

Remains sidelined Friday
Head coach Mike Tomlin said Whyte (groin) is day-to-day after missing Friday's practice, Tribune-Review Sports reports.
Analysis: Whyte exited Tuesday's practice with a groin injury and hasn't returned to the practice field yet, but Tomlin appears optimistic that he can make it back soon. The 23-year-old has an uphill climb to make the roster spot since the Steelers drafted Anthony McFarland in April, and any missed practice time works against his odds.

Managing groin injury
Whyte suffered a groin injury during Tuesday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Whyte was forced to leave Tuesday's practice early due to the injury, per Pryor. He's competing for a depth role in Pittsburgh's crowded backfield.

Non-factor on offense
Whyte ran for one yard on three carries in Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Even with James Conner (quadriceps) inactive, Whyte played a minimal role on offense and finishes the 2019 season with 122 yards on 24 carries in six games. Most of that (84 yards) came in two games in which he also caught his only target for nine yards. The Steelers' backfield is unsettled heading into 2020, but Whyte is unlikely to have a major role.

Six carries as Conner gets injured
Whyte rushed six times for 22 yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: It's not saying much, but Whyte was the team's most effective option on the ground after James Conner exited with a thigh injury. Whyte had eight more rushing yards on one carry fewer than Benny Snell, while Jaylen Samuels mixed in with seven yards on three carries and 32 more yards on four catches. Even if Conner sits against the Ravens in Week 17, none of the Steelers' other running backs will be advisable options, as nobody has been able to grab the job by the horns.

Usage take a hit
Whyte ran for five yards on two carries in Pittsburgh's 17-10 loss to Buffalo on Sunday night.
Analysis: Signed just one month ago to provide depth in Pittsburgh's beleaguered running game, it should come as no surprise that Whyte's role would be greatly diminished by the return of James Conner. At this point there is little reason to have Whyte on fantasy rosters.

Totals 50 yards from scrimmage
Whyte totaled 41 yards on five carries and caught his only target for nine yards in Pittsburgh's 23-17 win over Arizona on Sunday.
Analysis: Benny Snell continues to be the primary running back with James Conner (shoulder) still unable to play, but Whyte seems to have pulled even with -- if not ahead of -- Jaylen Samuels in the ground game. In the past three games, Whyte has rushed 14 times for 94 yards compared to 54 yards on 16 carries for Samuels. The anticipated return of Conner in Week 15 against the Bills could diminish Whyte's fantasy value while Samuels could still play a role in the passing game.

Runs for 43 yards in debut
Whyte ran six times for 43 yards in Pittsburgh's 16-10 win over Cincinnati on Sunday.
Analysis: Signed just over a week ago, Whyte ran for 21 yards on his first NFL carry and then added 22 yards on his next two runs that same series. Despite his early success, Whyte only had three more touches and no yards the remainder of the game. With the status of James Conner (shoulder) still in doubt for Week 13, Pittsburgh's rushing attack is in flux. Benny Snell, Jaylen Samuels, Trey Edmunds and Whyte have all had brief moments of production, but none are consistent enough to trust as the fantasy…read more

Joining Pittsburgh
Whyte signed a contract with the Steelers on Saturday.
Analysis: Facing a mountain of injuries following Thursday's literal slugfest against the Browns, Whyte is expected to be an insurance policy in the case James Conner (shoulder) or Benny Snell (knee) is unable to play Week 12 against the Bengals.
