The Pittsburgh Steelers, outside of a surprising loss to the division-rival Cleveland Browns a few weeks ago, have been on a roll, winning six out of their last seven games, putting the storied franchise in first place in the AFC North division with a record of 9-3 coming into Week 14.
On Sunday at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, the Steelers will have an opportunity to avenge their recent loss to the Browns and get into double digits in the win column, which would inch them closer to winning the division title and punching their ticket to the NFL playoffs.
However, the Steelers could be shorthanded at the wide receiver position coming into this weekend’s matchup with the Browns, as star wideout George Pickens has popped up on the injury report.
According to Nick Farabaugh of Penn Live, Pickens has been listed as questionable on the injury report by the Steelers due to a hamstring issue.

With Pickens being one of the team’s best offensive weapons, Mike Tomlin and company not having him on the field for Sunday’s game could be a bit of a game-changer for the offense and quarterback Russell Wilson.
Although the Browns are one of the worst teams in the league this season, Cleveland is still clearly capable of getting a win over Pittsburgh, which they proved a few weeks ago on their home field.
It’ll be interesting to see if Pickens can get back on the field on Sunday and how that will impact the Steelers’ offense if he doesn’t.
