Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth, QB Kenny Pickett, and CB Levi Wallace have been cleared and are no longer in concussion protocol.

Related Players: Mitch Trubisky, Zach Gentry

It's uncertain at this time if Pickett will regain the starting role from Mitch Trubisky but Freiermuth will assuredly send Zach Gentry deep down the depth chart. During the starting TE's absence, Gentry managed to accrue four yards on one reception. Freiermuth is right back to a top-ten option against a Dolphins defense that ranks 22nd in aFPA to the tight end position.

Pat Freiermuth joins a host of other very important pieces for the Pittsburgh Steelers, most of whom are on the defensive side of the ball.

Zach Gentry took advantage of his heightened opportunity in Week 5, with five of his six targets in the game coming after the departure of his fellow tight end. Pittsburgh has the seventh-highest pass rate on the season, and things didn’t switch up for Kenny Pickett’s first start, as he dropped back 56 times in the 38-3 blowout loss to the Bills. Gentry is available in 99% of Yahoo leagues for those desperate, assuming this game could follow a similar game script.

With Eric Ebron out of commission, Gentry would be next up for the Black and Gold. It's possible Freiermuth can clear protocol by Sunday. The Steelers play a later afternoon game in Week 13.

Ebron was hit by a couple of Bengals in the second quarter of the game. Ebron called for a flag and then laid back down on the turf and needed attention. The Steelers offense is struggling and Ebron has been a key target in the red zone. His status for Week 16 will need to be monitored. McDonald and Gentry are up next on the depth chart.
