Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth (illness) has landed on the injury report ahead of Sunday night’s matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals, the team announced Saturday afternoon. He is questionable to play.

Freiermuth’s four touchdown receptions lead the team to this point in the campaign.

In the Steelers’ win over the Cleveland Browns two weeks ago, Freiermuth passed up Bennie Cunningham (2,879 yards) to become the franchise’s third-leading tight end in career receiving yards. Only Steelers legend Heath Miller (6,569) and Elbie Nickel (5,131) have more receiving yards among tight ends in franchise history.
