Report: Steelers’ Chase Claypool week-to-week with toe injury

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool is considered week-to-week with a toe injury, NFL Network reported on Wednesday.

The news likely can be construed as positive considering there was speculation that the injury could have sidelined Claypool for the rest of the season.

Claypool underwent an MRI on his toe on Tuesday, one day after sustaining the injury during Pittsburgh’s 29-27 victory over the Chicago Bears.

Claypool, 23, has 29 catches for 433 yards and one touchdown in seven games (six starts). He hauled in nine TD catches last season as a rookie.

The Steelers (5-3) host the Detroit Lions (0-8) on Sunday.

Bucs WR Antonio Brown to get MRI on ailing knee

Tampa Bay wideout Antonio Brown will have an MRI on his ailing knee, Bucs coach Bruce Arians said Monday.

Brown played just 29 snaps in Sunday’s divisional playoff win over the New Orleans Saints. He caught one pass for 10 yards and was targeted three times. Brown played just 33 snaps in the wild-card round against Washington, catching two passes – one for a touchdown – for 49 yards.

Brown’s best game of the season came in Week 17 against the Atlanta Falcons, when he hauled in 11 catches for 138 yards and two touchdowns.

The Bucs play at Green Bay this Sunday in the NFC Championship.

Browns’ Garrett (knee) not expected to miss games

Cleveland defensive end Myles Garrett, who played most of the Browns’ Sunday game hampered by a sore knee, does not have any structural damage to the joint, coach Kevin Stefanski announced Monday.

Garrett should be ready for the Browns’ home game against the Houston Texans on Nov. 15. The Browns, who fell to 5-3 with a 16-6 home loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, have a bye this week.

An MRI on Monday showed no damage to Garrett’s knee, according to Stefanski.

“It’s obvious how much of an impact he makes in these games … we dodged a bullet,” Stefanski said. “We just need him to come back Wednesday and see if he’s ready to practice. If he’s not, we’ll have a few days to rest and get ready to roll next week.”

Garrett, whose nine sacks leave him tied with the Los Angeles Rams’ Aaron Donald for the league lead, said he hurt the knee in the second quarter. He left the game briefly, then returned but was not on field for all of the Browns’ defensive snaps.

The top pick in the 2017 draft, Garrett has four forced fumbles this season, also tied for first in the NFL.

Browns DE Garrett to have MRI on knee

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett will undergo an MRI after sustaining a knee injury during Sunday’s 16-6 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Garrett was limited all week in practice with an ankle injury, but was able to start Saturday before injuring his knee early in the game and seeing his snaps reduced.

“It was unrelated to the ankle from this week,” Cleveland coach Kevin Stefanski said. “He was able to play, probably didn’t play as much as he would have liked, we would have liked. … We’ll let the medical staff guide us on that one.”

The Browns (5-3) enter their bye week before returning to action against the visiting Houston Texans on Nov. 15.

Garrett, 24, signed a five-year, $125-million extension in the summer, and entered Sunday’s action with an NFL-leading nine sacks in seven games. He was held without one for the first time since Cleveland’s 38-6 season-opening loss to Baltimore on Sept. 13.

Since being selected by the Browns with the top overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft, Garrett has recorded 39.5 sacks.
