The Pittsburgh Steelers received some great news about wide receiver Chase Claypool. An MRI indicated that Claypool has avoided a season-ending toe injury. He likely won't be ready to go this week for the Pittsburgh Steelers as they take on the 0-8 Detroit Lions. Claypool is now considered week-to-week and he will miss some time but will be back sometime in the future.

Pittsburgh is having an interesting year. They haven't played well by any means but they've done enough to be in second place of the AFC North. The AFC North is arguably the most competitive division in football. Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers have been able to sneak out some victories to keep them afloat. Getting Claypool back is going to be great for the Steelers as they are going to have to take care of business for the next half of the season.
