Pittsburgh Steelers' Tight End Pat Freiermuth to Miss Second Game Due to Hamstring Injury

Despite Full Practice Wednesday, Freiermuth Downgraded After Aggravating Injury Thursday, Rookie Darnell Washington to Start in His Absence

Steelers' tight end Pat Freiermuth is set to miss his second consecutive game due a hamstring injury, despite a full practice on Wednesday; he was downgraded after aggravating the injury on Thursday.
Rookie Darnell Washington is expected to start in Freiermuth's absence and has exhibited good performance in previous games after Freiermuth's injury.
T.J. Watt, Pittsburgh’s outside linebacker, is expected to play the upcoming game after a brief scare of a heel injury; he missed practice on Thursday but returned on Friday.
Watt also shared he dislocated his pinky finger in the victory over the Ravens, but immediately put it back into place and continued playing.
Diontae Johnson and Pressley Harvin, both recovering from hamstring injuries as well, are likely to return for the upcoming game, following signals of their imminent activation off the injury reserve list.
