Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens missed the first game of his NFL career on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Pickens was ruled out with a hamstring injury after experiencing some tightness on the injury Friday morning. The call to rule out Pickens was surprising, but medical professionals from the Steelers' staff deemed Pickens not healthy enough to play.
As Pickens is recovering from his hamstring injury, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin delivered an update on his recovery and current injury.
On Tuesday, ESPN NFL reporter Brooke Pryor tweeted that Tomlin said Pickens is doubtful to play this Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles and that his injury is more serious than the team initially thought.
"Tomlin says Pickens is 'doubtful' vs. Eagles, but there's a small chance he could play. Says George Pickens had an MRI and the hamstring injury showed up, appears to be more significant than initially thought," Pryor tweeted.
