Steelers' Darnell Washington Out for Season After Surgery on Broken Arm

Pittsburgh faces the Ravens in a division decider with multiple pass-catching options unavailable.

Overview

  • Head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Washington underwent surgery to repair a broken arm and will miss the rest of the season.
  • Washington was injured during the Week 17 loss to the Browns and exited early after being seen in a sling and cast.
  • PennLive reported he is not expected to return for the playoffs and could be placed on injured reserve.
  • The Steelers head into Sunday night against Baltimore without Washington and suspended DK Metcalf, with Calvin Austin III's hamstring status uncertain.
  • Tomlin indicated the offense will adjust with larger roles for Connor Heyward, Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith, with lineman Spencer Anderson also a potential tight end option.
