Freiermuth (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
The big tight end evidently suffered some sort of setback after practicing fully Wednesday following the team's Week 5 bye, logging a LP and DNP sequence in the ensuing days. In Freiermuth's lone absence during Week 4, rookie third-round pick Darnell Washington saw a significant rise in snaps, but it was Connor Heyward who ultimately saw significantly more targets.
