The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t get much time to enjoy their 27-14 victory over the Cleveland Browns before getting some unfortunate news. Wide receiver George Pickens missed the first game of his career in Week 14 with a hamstring injury, and it seems likely he could miss more time; Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Monday afternoon that Pickens is expected to miss Week 15.
Brooke Pryor of ESPN reports that Pickens is considered to have a grade 2 hamstring strain. A grade 1 strain is considered mild, while a grade 3 hamstring strain is the most severe per the UK’s National Health Service.
