The Pittsburgh Steelers lost three wide receivers in free agency, including two former second-round draft picks. While JuJu Smith-Schuster is apparently impressing his new team, the Kansas City Chiefs, however, James Washington will now have to wait a while before he can make much of an impact.
The fifth-year veteran unfortunately suffered a significant injury in practice yesterday, and is scheduled for surgery today to address his fractured foot. Washington had his leg landed upon by cornerback Trevon Diggs during a practice rep, going for a deep ball in 7-on-7 work.
According to reports last night, he is now expected to miss six to 10 weeks, which means that he is in all likelihood going to be unavailable for the start of Dallas’ regular season, and perhaps even the first month or more.
