Steelers’ Mike Tomlin lists George Pickens as doubtful to play versus Eagles

Tomlin Discusses Possibility of Pickens’ Return

Tomlin, Steelers head coach, expressed uncertainty about tight end Pat Freiermotts ability to play against the Eagles, noting that it’s an outside chance. The coach cited the hamstring injury as the reason, stating it’s worse than initially expected. This comes after Pickens was added to the injury report on Friday.

The top target for the Steelers, Pickens has accumulated a total of 850 receiving yards, 55 catches, and three touchdowns this season. As the team gears up for a potential playoff run, the importance of having Pickens in good health is crucial. Despite the Steelers’ strong 10-3 record, Tomlin’s willingness to err on the side of caution and prioritize Pickens’ health for the remainder of the season is a reflection of the team’s commitment to success.
