It sounds like Chase Claypool avoided a serious injury. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport tweets that the Steelers wideout didn’t suffer a season-ending injury and is instead considered week-to-week.
There was some initial fear that Claypool’s foot injury would end up costing him the rest of the 2021 campaign. Fortunately, that won’t be the case, and Rapoport didn’t even definitively say that the receiver will miss time (rather, Claypool may miss time).
Following a standout rookie campaign that saw him haul in nine touchdowns, Claypool has continued his production into this season. Through seven games (six starts), the wideout has hauled in 29 receptions for 433 yards and one touchdown. The 23-year-old has also gotten six carries for 51 yards.
This is especially good news for a Steelers offense that already lost JuJu Smith-Schuster to a season-ending injury. Diontae Johnson, James Washington, and Ray-Ray McCloud will lead the receivers depth chart while Claypool is out.
We need better depth than Ray Ray
We need a better player than Ray Ray.
OBJ?
Please no
Steven sims Jr and Anthony Miller
C’mon guys.
Ray Ray is Okay Okay !!
It’s weird complaining about the depth when the top 3 are pretty good, Friermuth has come on and Najee catches well.
Oh no, Ray Ray McCloud exists on the roster! Oh darn.
