CLEVELAND (KDKA) - The Steelers could be getting some help when they head to Cleveland for another crucial AFC North matchup tomorrow against the Browns. 

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the Steelers could activate tight end Pat Freiermuth off of injured reserve tomorrow. 

Freiermuth has been out since he suffered a hamstring injury against the Houston Texans in week four. 

While he hasn't been overly productive so far this season, recording only eight catches for 53 yards and two touchdowns, he's often been a safety blanket for second-year quarterback Kenny Pickett. 

The Steelers head to Cleveland on Sunday and will face Dorian Thompson-Robinson at quarterback for the Browns. 

Meanwhile, with Deshaun Watson out for the year, the Browns have reportedly brought in Joe Flacco for a workout

Sunday will be a huge AFC North matchup for the Steelers as they'll look to sweep the season against Cleveland and improve their division record to 3-0. 

They're looking to keep pace with the now 8-3 Ravens who lead the AFC North. 

The Steelers and Browns clash on Sunday at 1 p.m. on KDKA-TV.
