Pat Freiermuth Officially Ruled Out

Pat Freiermuth Officially Ruled Out

one year ago

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) was unable to practice all week and has officially been ruled out for the Week 5 contest versus the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. Freiermuth was doubtful to play this week after injuring his hamstring in the Week 4 loss to the Houston Texans. The good news for the 24-year-old is that with the team's bye coming in Week 6, he'll have a good chance to make his return in Week 7 on Oct. 22 against the Los Angeles Rams. With Freiermuth sitting out this weekend, rookie Darnell Washington will have an opportunity for a bigger role in the passing attack alongside Connor Heyward. Neither tight end is worth streaming consideration in Week 5.
