Steelers WR George Pickens reportedly has a Grade 2 Hamstring strain and will likely miss next week's game against the Eagles. Pickens missed yesterday's game against the Browns as a game-time decision, but the injury appears to be more severe than describing this week.

Steelers WR George Pickens (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Browns. Reports on his status for this one were positive this morning, but Pickens’ pregame workout must not have gone well. His absence leaves a huge hole in Pittsburgh’s passing game. Pickens has accounted for 24% of the team's targets, 24% of the receptions, 32% of the receiving yards, and 30% of the receiving TDs since QB Russell Wilson took over. WRs Calvin Austin, Van Jefferson, and Mike Williams could all pick up extra targets, along with TEs Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington. But we’ll also likely see the Steelers lean even more on the run game. Russell Wilson is not a recommended QB1 play with Pickens out.

Steelers WR Calvin Austin sustained a concussion in Sunday's game vs. the Bengals. He caught both of his targets for 29 yards and a score before exiting. We'll track Austin's progress through the protocol this coming week. His absence should mean more snaps for WR Mike Williams.

Steelers WR George Pickens caught five of seven targets for 91 yards and an early TD in the Steelers win. Fellow WR Mike Williams, who just joined the Steelers, also caught a 32-yard TD on his lone catch.
