George Pickens

George Pickens (hamstring) is inactive for Week 14 against the Browns.

The Steelers were hopeful Pickens would be able to go in Sunday’s game against the Browns, but after testing his hamstring injury pre-game, the team has opted to sit their star receiver. Pickens’ absence should spell a bigger day for tight end Pat Friermuth, and could also pave the way for Mike Williams to see his busiest day as his member of the Black and Yellow. In addition to Pickens, the Steelers also declared QB Kyle Allen, CB Cory Trice, OG Max Scharping, and DE Dean Lowry inactive for Week 14.
