Injury Update On Steelers Pat Freiermuth

He hurt his foot in last Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth said he expects to play this Sunday, however, he's started off the week with back-to-back missed practices, which is not a good sign for a player's injury status.

Zach Gentry says that Pat Freiermuth “seems to be moving fine,” but that he’s not sure where the #Steelers’ TE1 is at with his rehab. @937theFan pic.twitter.com/93Tvn9xH5F

According to Brooke Pryor of ESPN, Freiermuth hurt his foot on his first reception in this past Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Ravens.

 

Friday's practice session will give us plenty more information on whether the twenty-four-year-old will be able to play against the Carolina Panthers this week.

In 12 games this season, Freiermuth has 53 receptions for 630 yards and two touchdowns on 82 targets. The second-year tight end was the Steelers' second-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
