On Saturday, the Pittsburgh Steelers added tight end Pat Freiermuth to the injury report, and he is listed as questionable with an illness ahead of their Sunday Night Football showdown against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Steelers are set to fly out to Cincinnati after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) lifted the nationwide flight ban.
Freiermuth has seen a resurgence in his production this season under new head coach Mike McCarthy. Through eight games, Freiermuth has 25 receptions for 235 receiving yards and five total touchdowns. Freiermuth and fellow starting tight end Darnell Washington form a strong tandem on a Steelers team that is running the offense through the run game and running back Jaylen Warren.

If Freiermuth cannot go on Sunday, look for backup Robert Tonyan to see an increased workload, along with fullback Riley Nowakowski.
