The Pittsburgh Steelers head into their bye week hoping to get several players back to full health for the remaining 11 games of the 2021 NFL season. One particular position group on offense which has been hard hit is the wide receivers room. With JuJu Smith-Schuster having season-ending shoulder surgery, both James Washington and Chase Claypool were limited in practice heading into the Steelers Week 6 matchup Sunday night with the Seattle Seahawks.
With Chase Claypool battling a hamstring injury and James Washington having a groin issue which kept him out of the Steelers Week 5 game, it was unsure if either player was going to be available against Seattle.
