LATEST: On Friday, Steelers wide receiver “George Pickens” was added to the injury report.
With a 9-3 record heading into Week 14, the Pittsburgh Steelers are in first position in the AFC North division after winning six of their past seven games, with the exception of a shocking loss to the division rival Cleveland Browns a few weeks ago.
The Steelers will have a chance to exact revenge on the Browns at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh on Sunday. If they can reach double digits in the victory column, they will be one step closer to earning the division title and securing their spot in the NFL playoffs.
However, standout wide receiver George Pickens has popped, thus the Steelers may be lacking at wide receiver going into this weekend’s game against the Browns.
The Steelers have placed Pickens as questionable on the injury report because of a hamstring problem, according to Nick Farabaugh of Penn Live.
Pickens is one of the team’s top offensive weapons, so it might be a game-changer for the offense and quarterback Russell Wilson if Mike Tomlin and company decide not to use him on the field on Sunday.
Cleveland demonstrated a few weeks ago that they are capable of defeating Pittsburgh on their home field, despite the fact that the Browns are among the poorest teams in the league this season.
If Pickens is unable to return to the field on Sunday, it will be intriguing to observe how it would affect the Steelers’ offensive strategy.
