Darnell Washington Could See Expanded Role if Pat Freiermuth Sits

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington is in line for an increased offensive workload for Sunday night's Week 10 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals if starter Pat Freiermuth is inactive due to an illness. Freiermuth was added to the injury report as questionable on Saturday. Washington and veteran Robert Tonyan would handle the primary tight end reps if Freiermuth cannot play.
