Though he still needs to get final medical clearance, it’s seeming all but certain that the Pittsburgh Steelers will get quite the Christmas gift Wednesday with the return of dynamic wide receiver George Pickens offensively.
And not at a moment too soon, either, as Pickens’ presence will be key in combating a strong Kansas City Chiefs’ defense in the Christmas Day showdown.
Without him for the last three games due to a hamstring injury, the Steelers’ offense has been hit or miss without the third-year receiver. They had some good moments in Weeks 14 and 16 against the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals, but in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles was a disaster.
