Pittsburgh Steelers troll Green Bay Packers with savage graphic after win

The Pittsburgh Steelers had a perfect response to their victory over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Following yet another close victory, this time 23-19, the Steelers social media team posted a graphic with a cheese grater with some shredded cheddar.

The graphic, captioned, “say when,” was simple and to the point. They also made several other posts with captions like, “gouda night” and “Hate to be cheesy but that was a grate W.” With a 6-3 record, the Steelers can certainly afford to have some fun with it.

With the win in the books and the puns on X, Pittsburgh is now on to Week 11, which features a road game against the Cleveland Browns.

The Browns just lost quarterback Deshaun Watson for the remainder of the season so the Steelers might shred their next opponent, too. Despite the news about Watson, the Browns are still 1.5-point favorites at home, according to FanDuel.

Steelers announce Pat Freiermuth’s return to practice

The Steelers had Pat Freiermuth return to practice on Wednesday, but as of now, the tight end still is on injured reserve.

The team made the announcement on Wednesday morning, before the start of Steelers practice. In the meantime, the team also said it had signed defensive tackle Breiden Fehoko and linebacker Tyler Murray to the practice squad.

The third-year tight end from Penn State strained his hamstring on Oct. 1, during a loss to the Houston Texans. At the time, the injury wasn’t serious enough to put Freiermuth on injured reserve. However, Freiermuth returned to practice and aggravated the hamstring injury. That’s when the Steelers needed to place him on IR, meaning he had to miss a minimum of four games. That return window now is open.

Early Wednesday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Pittsburgh planned to open the 21-day window for Freiermuth’s return to the active roster. It was confirmed when the Steelers said he’d practice today. If he’s able to play against the Browns this Sunday, the Steelers likely will announce his activation on Saturday.

Through the first four games this season, Freiermuth has caught eight passes for 53 yards. The Steelers and quarterback Kenny Pickett have struggled all seasons to get their passing game off the ground. It’s currently averaging roughly 165 yards a game over the last three contests. But the Steelers still are winning, even if they’ve been outgained by each opponent in every game this season.

An established tight end would help Pickett on third down so that the offense can keep moving the chains. A year ago, Freiermuth was third on the team in receiving, with 63 catches for 732 yards.
