George Pickens to Miss Game vs. Eagles

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens is expected to miss the upcoming game against the Philadelphia Eagles due to a grade 2 hamstring strain. Initially considered minor, the injury was revealed to be more significant following an MRI, making Pickens doubtful for the game. Pickens, the team's leading receiver with 55 receptions and 850 yards, missed last Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns and his absence is anticipated to impact the Steelers' performance against the Eagles' strong defense. Head coach Mike Tomlin has not committed to Pickens playing, indicating that the team will need to rely on other receivers like Mike Williams and Scotty Miller. The Steelers, holding a 10-3 record, are aiming for their first road win in Philadelphia since 1965. Despite Pickens' absence, the team remains in contention for the AFC North division title with an upcoming game against the Baltimore Ravens.
