Overview
- Washington was injured late in the first quarter of the 13-6 loss to the Browns and did not return after making two catches for 15 yards.
- He was seen postgame with his arm in a cast and sling, and the team has not provided a recovery timeline.
- Reporting widely indicates he is unlikely to play in Week 18, though the Steelers have not declared his season over.
- The setback compounds the absences of DK Metcalf, who is serving the second game of a two-game suspension, and Calvin Austin III, who has a hamstring issue.
- In his third NFL season, the 24-year-old posted career highs with 31 receptions and 364 yards while serving as a key blocker in Arthur Smith’s offense.
