James Washington Could Miss Some Time with Shoulder Injury
STILLWATER -- If you're an Oklahoma State, and or a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, this was a rough weekend for you. The Pokes fell to Texas Tech and Mason Rudolph and James Washington both went down with injuries against the Baltimore Ravens.
Rudolph's currently in concussion protocol, but he was on the field this afternoon participating in practice. As for James Washington, he left the game early against the Ravens with an apparent shoulder injury and now it's possible that he could miss at least two weeks according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
#Steelers WR James Washington is expected to miss a few weeks with a shoulder injury suffered on Sunday, source said. Another challenge for either Mason Rudolph or Devlin Hodges this week.

It's been a bit of a slow start for Washington through the first five games of the season. He's recorded just nine receptions for 140 yards, an average of 15.6 yards per catch on the season. His game this past weekend against the Ravens, however, was his highest total of season with 52 yards, one more than his season-opening 51 yards against the Patriots.
However, Washington is on his way to blow by his season total from last year of 217 yards on 16 receptions with just one touchdown as he trails by only 77 yards.
