Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool was downgraded to out for Sunday’s matchup against the Packers, the team announced Saturday.

Claypool suffered a hamstring injury in practice after getting banged up in Sunday’s loss to the Bengals.

He was a full participan­t in practice on Wednesday, but was listed on the injury report Thursday as limited and didn’t practice at all on Friday.

Both Johnson and Smith-Schuster are expected to play Sunday.
