George Pickens, a wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, is most likely not going to play against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, but he may be out longer. Pickens is expected to miss another game due to a grade 2 hamstring strain that kept him out of Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns.
But according to individuals who spoke to PennLive, Pickens might miss more time than that. The Steelers are expecting him to miss the team’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs and maybe the Baltimore Ravens.
Pickens is questionable for the team’s game against the Ravens and may lose more time than that, according to Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reporter Gerry Dulac.
Pickens has an outside shot to play this week, according to Mike Tomlin, who described him as uncertain. It usually takes longer than two weeks for grade 2 hamstring strains to heal. Pickens is heating up quickly and has responded well to therapy, so if he does make a comeback for one of those games, it will be for that reason.
According to insiders, Pickens is only 23 years old and the lesion is in the muscle rather than the tendon, which will enable him recover more quickly. In any case, with Pickens hurt and maybe out for several games, the Steelers will search for someone else to step up.
