Pat Freiermuth - Page 16 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Tallies four receptions Freiermuth brought in all four of his targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 26-17 loss to the Raiders.

Impact Freiermuth was targeted just once in his NFL debut against the Bills last week, but he was more involved in the passing game during Sunday's loss. Eric Ebron saw two targets in Week 2, but Freiermuth drew the start against the Raiders and has carved out a modest role early in his NFL career.

Tops 20 yards in debut Freiermuth hauled in his lone target for 24 yards in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Bills.

Impact Although Freiermuth was targeted just once in his NFL debut, he made the most of his opportunity by racking up 24 yards in his first career catch. The 2021 second-rounder started alongside veteran tight end Eric Ebron in Sunday's win, and it appears as though both of them will have a role in the Steelers' offense to begin the year.

NFL Preseason: Top moments from Saturday's 10-game lineup

Breaks out with two touchdowns Freiermuth secured two of three targets for 19 yards and two touchdowns in the Steelers' 26-20 preseason win over the Lions on Saturday night.

Impact The rookie tight end flashed his height, leaping ability and sure hands on his two grabs, which came from 11 and eight yards out. Freiermuth impressively went up high near the back line of the end zone to snare the first scoring throw from Ben Roethlisberger and he made an impressive catch in tight coverage on the second touchdown. The red-zone usage was certainly encouraging from a fantasy perspective, and although veteran Eric Ebron will certainly command his share of targets near the end zone in the coming season, Freiermuth's 6-foot-5 frame should garner him a fair amount of opportunities as well.

Suits up in Philly Freiermuth (shoulder) caught his only target for six yards in Thursday's 24-16 preseason win over Philadelphia.

Impact Freiermuth made his Steelers debut after sitting out the Hall of Fame Game against the Cowboys. The rookie second-round pick was called for a holding penalty on Pittsburgh's opening drive but managed to catch a pass in the second quarter. With established veteran Eric Ebron topping the tight end depth chart in Pittsburgh, Freiermuth will likely be brought along slowly, though he'll try to outplay Ebron when the Lions come to town for more preseason action next week.

Practices Tuesday Freiermuth (shoulder) participated in Tuesday's practice, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Freiermuth suffered a shoulder injury last week and was unable to appear in the Hall of Fame Game against Dallas. However, the 22-year-old's return to practice signals that he could make his NFL debut in Thursday's exhibition game against the Eagles. Freiermuth had performed well early in camp before he suffered his shoulder injury, and he's expected to compete for a role in Pittsburgh's offense ahead of his rookie season.

Unlikely to play Thursday Freiermuth (shoulder) doesn't appear as if he'll play in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Cowboys, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Impact The Steelers are taking a prudent approach with the rookie second-rounder after he injured his left shoulder at Tuesday's practice. Freiermuth's pro debut thus will have to wait until preseason Week 1 next Thursday in Philadelphia, at the earliest.

Hurts shoulder Freiermuth had ice taped to his left shoulder following an early exit from Tuesday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The timing of the injury, even if it's minor, likely will prevent Freiermuth from making his NFL debut in the Hall of Fame Game against Dallas on Thursday. The rookie second-round pick reportedly has looked good through the first week of training camp, and he'll have three additional chances to suit up in exhibitions before the games begin to count. While unlikely to make a run at the Week 1 starting job, Freiermuth could poach some snaps and targets from fellow tight end Eric Ebron.
