Canadian receiver Chase Claypool is out for the Pittsburgh Steelers' game against the Detroit Lions tomorrow with a toe injury.
To fill his spot, the Steelers promoted wide receiver Steven Sims to the active roster.
Pittsburgh made the move Saturday after announcing Claypool will sit Sunday because of a toe injury. Claypool injured the toe during a 29-27 victory over Chicago last week.Sims spent the 2019 and 2020 seasons with Washington, catching 61 passes for 574 yards and five touchdowns while working primarily out of the slot.
Claypool, who hails from Abbotsford, B.C., is the second high-profile Pittsburgh receiver to be sidelined by injury this season. JuJu Smith-Schuster is out for the year after injuring his right shoulder against Denver last month. Claypool has 29 receptions for 433 yards and a touchdown in 2021. Diontae Johnson and James Washington will likely be the starters for Pittsburgh on Sunday as the Steelers try to build on a four-game winning streak., and avoid posting profanity, personal attacks or harassment.
