The Steelers might be without tight end Pat Freiermuth on Sunday night against the Bengals.
Freiermuth has been added to the Steelers’ injury report with an illness. He is listed as questionable.
Freiermuth has started all eight games for the Steelers this season. He has 25 catches for 235 yards and leads the team with four receiving touchdowns. The Steelers love using their two tight ends in the red zone; seven of Aaron Rodgers’ 13 touchdown passes this season have gone to either Freiermuth or tight end Darnell Washington.

The Steelers use a lot of two-tight end formations; Freiermuth has played 65.5 percent of the Steelers’ offensive snaps this season and Washington has played 64.7 percent. If Freiermuth can’t go, backup Robert Tonyan will likely get more playing time.
