Steelers’ tight end Pat Freiermuth is poised to return to action, as the team plans to activate him from the injured reserve before their clash with the Cleveland Browns. This comes as a welcome development for the struggling Steelers offense, plagued by consistency issues throughout the season. Despite recent improvements on the ground, the team has lagged behind in yards per game, points per game, and yards per play.
Freiermuth, a reliable target between the numbers, particularly in the red zone, is seen as a key asset. His return offers a potential boost, especially with the increased communication and understanding of in-game adjustments under offensive coordinator Matt Canada on the sideline.
Before his injury, Freiermuth showcased his prowess with eight receptions, 53 yards, and two touchdowns, providing a valuable option in a previously stagnant offense. With an enhanced run game and improved offensive line, Freiermuth is anticipated to exploit favorable matchups as opposing linebackers focus on stopping the run.
