Limited in return to practice

Freiermuth (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

The Steelers designated Freiermuth to return from injured reserve earlier Wednesday after he missed five games due to a hamstring injury. Though Pittsburgh will still have to activate Freiermuth from IR before he's eligible to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported earlier Wednesday that the tight end is "tracking" to suit up in the Steelers' matchup with the Browns this weekend. The Steelers will likely wait and see how Freiermuth fares in practices Thursday and Friday before deciding on his status for Sunday's contest.
