Steelers likely to be without George Pickens against Eagles

PITTSBURGH -- The Steelers are likely to be without their top wide receiver for the second week in a row.

Mike Tomlin said Tuesday there's an "outside chance" George Pickens plays against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday after an MRI revealed a "little bit more significant" hamstring injury than initially thought.

"We're just in the mindset now of just getting him healthy as quickly as we possibly can," Tomlin said. "There's a potential for this week, but it's an outside chance. If you press me, I'd probably say he's out or could be characterized as doubtful as we sit here, but again, like we always do, we'll go through the normal procedure, we'll let participation be our guide in terms of availability and then obviously the quality of that participation.
