Pat Freiermuth’s Expected Return Adds ‘Really Viable Weapon’ To Steelers’ Offense, Canada Says

After missing last week’s matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth looks to be returning this Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. Despite good play from Zach Gentry and Connor Heyward this past Sunday, getting a top ten tight end like Freiermuth back can do wonders for an offense that is trying to find its groove.

Steelers offensive coordinator Matt Canada addressed this today in his weekly press conference transcribed by the Steelers, saying:

“I think having Pat back adds us another really, really viable weapon that they have to be aware of nd how they handle covering him then will dictate where the ball should go and who it should go to.
