The Pittsburgh Steelers breathed a collective sigh of relief when Chase Claypool’s MRI results revealed his toe injury is not season-ending, as initially was feared.
Per a source of NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Claypool is considered week-to-week.
Though it’s not official Claypool will miss the Steelers Week 10 contest, it’s safe to say he won’t be in the lineup. He also missed Pittsburgh’s Week 4 loss to the Green Bay Packers with a hamstring injury.
It’ll be James Washington’s time to shine behind Diontae Johnson versus the Detroit Lions. Claypool’s injury likely means more looks for rookie phenom Pat Freiermuth, as well.
Some relatively good news for #Steelers WR Chase Claypool: His toe injury is not considered season-ending. There was some fear of that originally, but he’s now considered week-to-week, source said. May miss some time, but will be back.
