Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin says he isn't concerned about George Pickens' effort after the wideout played a career-low 34 of 58 snaps in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
"I didn't have any outlying issue with his effort," Tomlin said on Tuesday, per ESPN's Brooke Pryor. "As I mentioned after the game ... that's just a snap management thing and an effort to be more productive in today's game regarding analytics, we do it across a lot of positions, particularly when you look at the totality of a 17-game schedule.
"I'd imagine Cam Heyward, for example, is playing less snaps than he has just trying to grow and trying to get optimum productivity among some individuals and going about the best means of doing so, and so that's probably a reflection of the snap totality of last week.
