Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington suffered a forearm injury during the team's Week 17 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. The 24-year-old was initially listed as questionable to return but was ruled out for the remainder of the game. The injury dealt a significant blow to the Steelers, who were already facing a thin roster without wide receiver DK Metcalf (suspension) and Calvin Austin III (injury).

Many felt that his absence was a significant loss, with one fan commenting, "Darnell Washington was on track to have a breakout game, and now he's out with an injury." Another fan noted, "The Steelers' offense is already struggling, and losing Washington is a big blow.
