Dealing with calf injury, iffy for Week 6
Freiermuth (calf) was added to the injury report Saturday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The late addition of a calf issue puts Freiermuth's availability in doubt ahead of Week 6. He's coming off a two-touchdown performance against the Colts in Week 5, but if he's sidelined for Sunday, then Darnell Washington would step into a larger role offensively, with Robert Tonyan also in the mix for more snaps.
