Steelers Activate WR James Washington from COVID-19 List

The Pittsburgh Steelers have activated wide receiver James Washington from the COVID-19 reserve list, the team announced on Thursday.


Washington missed the team’s Week 18 game against the Baltimore Ravens while in the NFL COVID-19 protocol.

Washington has served as the team’s top backup at outside wide receiver all season. In 15 games, he has made two starts and caught 24 passes of 44 targets for 285 yards and two touchdown.

With Washington’s activation, the Steelers do not have any players on the COVID-19 list for the first time in several weeks.
