Despite his questionable status, Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens was expected to play yesterday, until he wasn’t. It’s not clear exactly when they made a final decision, but the players found out last. TE Pat Freiermuth told reporters a text from his father alerted him to the news. At least for WR Scotty Miller, he got a more direct line of communication.
“I didn’t know until about 3 minutes before the inactives came out,” Miller said via Dale Lolley writing for the Steelers’ website. “I’m just sitting there chilling in my clothes. Somebody came over and told me I was playing.
