Steelers' George Pickens Doubtful for Key Matchup Against Eagles

Pittsburgh's top wide receiver is likely to miss a second consecutive game due to a significant hamstring injury, complicating the team's playoff push.

  • George Pickens, the Steelers' leading receiver with 850 yards and three touchdowns this season, is doubtful to play against the Eagles on Sunday due to a hamstring injury.
  • Head coach Mike Tomlin described the injury as more significant than initially expected, following an MRI conducted after last week's game against the Browns.
  • Pickens first experienced discomfort during practice last Thursday, leading to his absence from the Steelers' Week 14 victory over Cleveland.
  • The Steelers, currently leading the AFC North at 10-3, can clinch a playoff spot this week with a win or tie against the Eagles, or losses by both the Dolphins and Colts.
  • In Pickens' absence, the Steelers will rely on wide receivers Scotty Miller, Van Jefferson, and Mike Williams, who stepped up in last week's win.
