Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens failed to play on Sunday, and his status for next week is unclear. What is clear, however, is what he means to this team, even when he isn’t on the field. While the Steelers managed to produce 27 points without him, they felt his absence between the lines. That doesn’t mean that he was absent from the sideline, however—quite the opposite, actually.
According to his teammates, Pickens was active and engaged with them. WR Scotty Miller told Mark Kaboly that he was giving them tips and cheering them on.
