Why isn't Darnell Washington playing tonight?
Darnell Washington isn't playing against the Ravens because he's injured.
The big tight end broke his forearm playing against the Cleveland Browns in Week 17.
It's an injury that wouldn't even allow Washington to get back onto the field for the playoffs, it doesn't seem.

The Steelers will have to find their way to the postseason with their other tight ends from a deep depth chart: Pat Freiermuth, Jonnu Smith and Connor Heyward.
All the big Washington will be able to do is support from the sideline.
