Overview
- The tight end left in the third quarter of the Week 8 game against the Packers after a helmet struck his right knee on a short catch.
- He went to the blue medical tent, then emerged walking on the sideline with indications he might return, according to a sideline report cited by The Sporting News.
- Before exiting, he had two receptions for seven yards in the Sunday night matchup.
- If he cannot continue, Jonnu Smith and Darnell Washington are expected to absorb additional snaps and targets for Pittsburgh.
- The injury follows a Week 7 breakout of five catches for 111 yards and two touchdowns, though his overall season usage has been inconsistent and pregame fantasy advice leaned sit.
