McCloud tallied nine receptions on 12 targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 16-16 tie against Detroit.
McCloud entered Sunday's game with 10 total targets on the season, and he exceeded that mark in his effort against Detroit. He was aided by the absence of Chase Claypool (toe) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (shoulder), but he also displayed rapport with Mason Rudolph by tallying five receptions of 10 or more yards. Should Claypool remain sidelined heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Chargers, McCloud should maintain an increased role among the Steelers' receiving corps.
