‘Opportunity Is Going To Knock’: Freiermuth’s Absence Opens Door To More Reps For Jace Sternberger

After practice concluded Friday afternoon at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Mike Tomlin took the stand to address the media about the team injuries. Tomlin mentioned that TE Pat Freiermuth had a hamstring injury that prevented him from participating on Friday after experiencing tightness on Thursday, causing him to miss the couple periods. Tomlin made it sound like a minor issue for Freiermuth and that he should be expected to return relatively soon after getting evaluated and cleared to return, calling him “day-to-day”.

However, when he mentioned Freiermuth’s injury, Tomlin was quick to bring up the topic of opportunity that injury provides to other players on the roster.
