Claypool leaves practice

Chase Claypool Headshot

Steelers WR Chase Claypool suffered an apparent lower body injury in Tuesday’s practice. It sounds like he went down hard after trying to catch a downfield pass. Per beat writer Ray Fittipaldo, Claypool went straight to the locker room to get checked out. We’ll let you know when an update is available.

Update: ESPN's Adam Schefter reports it's a "minor" ankle sprain and that Claypool "should be fine." That matches with reports from NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and ESPN's Jeremy Fowler that the WR avoided significant injury. We're not adjusting Claypool downward at all.
