Pittsburgh Steelers rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth is currently in the concussion protocol, having presumably suffered his second diagnosed concussion of the season, which obviously puts his status for the team’s next game in jeopardy.
With Eric Ebron already on the Reserve/Injured List, that would seemingly make the team’s tight end depth chart perilously thin, with third-year Zach Gentry now on the top of the food chain. A former fifth-round pick—and former quarterback—Gentry spent the majority of his first two seasons on the bench as a healthy scratch, as the Steelers opted to dress only two tight ends with him as the third option.
