Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington suffered a serious injury in Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters that Washington suffered a broken arm.
It’s not clear when Darnell Washington suffered the injury, but the Steelers announced in the second quarter that he was questionable to return. Later in the second quarter, the Steelers announced that the former Georgia Bulldogs star has been ruled out.
Washington finished Sunday’s game with two receptions for 15 yards in the Steelers’ 13-6 loss to the Browns. According to Brooke Pryor of ESPN, Tomlin said he doesn’t know if Washington will miss the regular-season finale next week. If Washington doesn’t play, he will finish the regular season with 31 receptions for 364 yards and one touchdown in 16 games.
The Steelers selected Washington in the third round of the 2023 NFL draft. They liked what the 24-year-old brings to the offense because of his size.
