Chase Claypool, the second-year Steelers receiver, has been downgraded to out ahead of Pittsburgh's matchup with the Packers. Claypool popped up on the injury report Thursday with a hamstring injury he presumably suffered in practice. He sat out of Friday's practice and his status for Week 5 is now up in the air too. Fellow wide receivers Diontae Johnson and JuJu Smith-Schuster should see increased targets in Claypool's absence. Johnson missed Week 3 with a knee injury, but should be effective in his return. Smith-Schuster suffered a rib injury Week 3, but practiced fully on Friday and has no injury designation heading into the Sunday.
