Pat Freiermuth Expected To Shoulder Heavier Target Share In Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth is expected to see a surge in passing-game targets following a rash of injuries to the team's wide receiver group. With Michael Pittman on IR, Roman Wilson slated to miss multiple weeks with a finger injury, and Ben Skowronek dealing with a calf issue, the Steelers' offensive scheme will heavily lean on Freiermuth, Darnell Washington, and running back Jaylen Warren in the short term to support quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
