The Cleveland Browns received a huge break with the late report of this Pittsburgh Steelers' player being ruled out.
on Sunday that Steelers' star wide receiver George Pickens is out for today's contest, despite him intending to play earlier in the week.
"George Pickens intended to play today vs. the Browns, but after conversations this morning, the Steelers decided to take a long-term view and not risk the hamstring injury that he suffered at the end of the week. Thus Pickens is inactive."Pickens is one of the main catalyst for Pittsburgh's offense this season, as he leads the team in receiving yards this year with 850.
Pittsburgh will likely turn to tight end Pat Freiermuth and wide receiver Calvin Austin III in the passing game. The two combined for 805 receiving yards and eight touchdowns through 12 games. While Pittsburgh will be without the team's star wideout, offensive coordinator Arthur Smith has a dynamic one-two punch on the ground with running backs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren. The duo has rushed for a combined 1,136 yards and five touchdowns this season. Without the presence of Pickens on the field, Pittsburgh could shift the focus on offense from the air to the ground.
