Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens may be hit with a fine in the coming days.
The NFL is investigating the explicit message that Pickens wrote on his eye black during their 20-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night, according to ESPN’s Brooke Pryor.
Pickens had the phrase “Open F***ing Always” written in silver across his eye black for the contest at Acrisure Stadium. While it’s likely the explicit nature of the eye black triggered the league review, NFL rules state that players are prohibited from "wearing, displaying or otherwise conveying personal messages either in writing or illustration, unless such message has been approved in advance by the League office.
