The Steelers will be facing a Dolphins team that will have Tua Tagovailoa back in the starting lineup. Tagovailoa has missed time with a concussion and ankle injury ever since the Dolphins’ loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 4.
Freiermuth has 235 yards receiving and 1 touchdown in the games that he’s been healthy for. QB Kenny Pickett and CB Levi Wallace have also been cleared to play in the game as well.
We’ll see if the Dolphins can end their three game losing streak or if the Steelers can build off the Week 6 win.
The game between the two AFC teams is set for 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.
