Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool was placed on injured reserve by his new team.
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers are gearing up for their second preseason game. This week they are hosting the Buffalo Bills for a joint practice at St. Vincent College, followed by a matchup at Acrisure Stadium. For the Steelers this meant getting a chance to see former wide receiver Chase Claypool in action. Unfortunately, it seems they will not get that chance.
"The Bills have placed wide receiver Chase Claypool on injured reserve," she wrote. "Originally described as a day-to-day injury, Claypool has mised most of camp." During his rookie season in Pittsburgh, he caught 62 passes for 873 yards and nine touchdowns as he became a deep ball weapon. He followed that up with 59 receptions for 860 yards and two touchdowns as a sophomore in the NFL.
Since his departure, life in the NFL has been a much tougher road for the receiver. In a season and a half with the Bears, he caught just 18 passes for less than 200 yards and a single touchdown.
