Overview
- Head coach Mike Tomlin said after the loss to the Browns that Washington sustained a broken arm.
- Reporting characterizes the injury as season-ending, though Tomlin did not set a timetable and a Week 18 return is viewed as unlikely.
- The Steelers now face a winner-take-all matchup with the Ravens in Week 18 to decide a playoff berth.
- Pittsburgh’s pass-catching depth is further strained with DK Metcalf suspended, increasing pressure on remaining options.
- More work is expected for Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth with greater reliance on the run game, as Washington’s season ends at 349 yards and one touchdown.
