The Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly have some optimism about George Pickens being available for their Christmas Day game against the Chiefs. Whether or not he actually plays remains to be seen. And even if he does, he could be limited, either in snaps or in capability.
And the Steelers aren’t stupid—they know how much they have missed Pickens on the field. While they managed to exploit the Browns without him, they have since lost two games in a row. And the passing game has struggled. Even when he isn’t putting up big numbers, he affects the rest of the offense.
