PAT FREIERMUTH NEWS

Cleared for Sunday's game Freiermuth (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The tight end, who suffered a concussion during Week 12 action, practiced fully this past week and has been cleared to play versus Baltimore. With Eric Ebron (knee) on injured reserve, Freiermuth is the Steelers' clear-cut top option at his position, a context that puts him on track for enough snaps and targets to merit weekly fantasy consideration.

Logs another full session Freiermuth (concussion) practiced fully Thursday.

Impact Back-to-back full sessions have Freiermuth trending toward suiting up Sunday against the Ravens. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether he has fully cleared concussion protocol and if so, the Steelers' top tight end will head into the weekend minus a Week 13 injury designation.

Practices fully Freiermuth (concussion) was listed as a full practice participant Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact It remains to be seen if Freiermuth has cleared through all the stages of the NFL's concussion protocol, but his full participation in Wednesday's practice suggests that he's on track to play Sunday against the Ravens, barring any setbacks. With Eric Ebron (knee) on injured reserve, Freiermuth is the Steelers' clear-cut top pass-catching tight end when healthy, with Zach Gentry and Kevin Rader in reserve.

Going through concussion protocol Freiermuth is in the concussion protocol, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Freiermuth was examined for a head injury in the aftermath of Sunday's 41-10 loss at Cincinnati after hauling in all four of his targets for 40 yards and one touchdown. He'll need to clear league protocols in order to be available for game action, but getting back on the practice field quickly would be an indication that Freiermuth is making progress. With Eric Ebron (knee) on injured reserve, Zach Gentry and Kevin Rader currently are the healthiest tight ends on the Steelers' active roster.

Impact Eric Ebron (knee) was placed on injured reserve this week, so Freiermuth resumed his role as the Steelers' unchallenged starting tight end. While the 22-year-old posted a strong fantasy line, he was forced to exit the game late after a hit to the head and will likely have to go through the league's concussion protocol this week. If Freiermuth is unable to go, Zach Gentry will be asked to start against the Ravens next Sunday.

Finds end zone in loss Freiermuth had four receptions (seven targets) for 11 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-37 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Freiermuth saved what would have been a dreadful fantasy performance with a five-yard touchdown reception in the final minutes of a wild Sunday Night Football matchup. Fellow tight end Eric Ebron also hit pay dirt, but he finished with four fewer targets than Freiermuth. The rookie tight end doesn't have a ton of upside -- especially with Ebron back in the mix -- but Freiermuth does have utility as a red-zone target with four touchdowns over the last four weeks. Up next is a matchup against the Bengals next Sunday.

Coughs up late fumble Freiermuth hauled in five of nine targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 16-16 tie against the Lions.

Impact Freiermuth had scored three touchdowns across the last two games, but he failed to reach the end zone in Sunday's matchup. The rookie also committed a fumble late in overtime as the Steelers approached field-goal range. In spite of his late blunder, Freiermuth's nine targets represented his highest total of the season, even though fellow tight end Eric Ebron was active.

Catches two touchdowns Freiermuth caught five of six targets for 43 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 29-27 win over the Bears.

Impact Freiermuth hauled in both of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's touchdown passes, continuing his strong recent stretch. The rookie's first score came after Roethlisberger extended the play and found him in the end zone from four yards, then Freiermuth fought through a defensive pass-interference call to secure a contested, 10-yard TD in the third quarter. Since wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster (shoulder) went down in Week 5, Freiermuth has enjoyed a larger role in Pittsburgh's offense, totaling 16 catches and three touchdowns over his last three outings. That production gives him significant momentum heading into Week 10's matchup versus the Lions.
