Steelers rule out Pickens, Elliott, Ogunjobi vs. Eagles

PITTSBURGH -- The Steelers will be without top wide receiver George Pickens on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Pickens, dealing with a hamstring injury suffered in the days before the Steelers' Week 14 win against the Cleveland Browns, was ruled out in Friday's final injury report after not practicing all week.

Pittsburgh also ruled out safety DeShon Elliott (hamstring) and defensive end Larry Ogunjobi (groin) after neither practiced all week.

Without Elliott, the Steelers have a significant void in their run defense as they prepare to face NFL leading rusher Saquon Barkley.
