A Steelers Depot daily segment. A quick hit of some Pittsburgh Steelers-related stories that may not require a complete article but nuggets worth mentioning and passing on to you guys.
Your Depot After Dark for Nov. 20.
WASHINGTON ANGRY RUN SCEPTER
Darnell Washington had a great day against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. He caught four passes for 67 yards. He also made several eye-popping plays. That included a 31-yard catch-and-run that earned him Angry Run honors from analyst Kyle Brandt. Washington destroyed several defenders on that play, earning that recognition.
Brandt also gifts a scepter to those who win the Angry Run award for the week, and he shared a picture of Washington with that gift on Twitter. Washington made sure to include the Steelers’ other tight ends in the picture, too. Brandt comments that the scepter looks like a toothpick in Washington’s hands, and he isn’t wrong. The Steelers tight end is massive.
BURROW PRACTICING
The Cincinnati Bengals are watching their season slowly slip away. They’re currently 3-7 and in third place in the AFC North. They’re in jeopardy of falling out of the playoff race. Additionally, they’ll be without superstar wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase this week because of his suspension. However, they could be getting a boost soon.
Around the NFL on Twitter shared that Joe Burrow has been a full participant in practice for the second day in a row. It looks like he could play this week. Burrow has been out since Week 2 with a toe injury. That’s been a big part of the Bengals’ struggles. They’re playing the New England Patriots, and without Chase, they’ll need all the help they can get. We’ll see if Burrow suits up.
LAMAR JACKSON FULL PARTICIPANT
The Baltimore Ravens have been gaining ground on the Steelers in the AFC North race. They’ve gone from 1-5 to 5-5. However, Lamar Jackson didn’t practice Wednesday with an ankle. He had a hamstring injury earlier this season that caused him to miss several games. It looks like Jackson is okay currently, though.
The Ravens shared on Twitter that Jackson was a full participant in practice Thursday. They were likely just taking precautions with him. Their playoff hopes will disappear if they lose Jackson. They play the New York Jets this week, who are one of the worst teams in the league. Jackson should be in line for a big day, and we’ll see if they win.
