Steelers release bad injury news ahead of Week 6

The Pittsburgh Steelers will be hoping to improve their record to 4-2 this afternoon when they take on the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium. 

And while they suffered an injury scare earlier this week when defensive anchor T.J. Watt suffered a heel injury but was declared good to go, the same cannot be said about tight end Pat Freiermuth, who was ruled out with a hamstring injury. He's been placed on the Injured/Reserve list: 

The news coincided with the Steelers activating wide receiver Diontae Johnson from injured reserve while also releasing wide receiver Gunner Olszewski.

Freiermuth has hauled in eight catches for 53 yards so far in 2023, and has accounted for two of the five touchdowns the team has scored. Can the Steelers get the job done today in Los Angeles without him?
