Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens was declared inactive for the team's game against the Cleveland Browns due to a hamstring injury. Pickens, who leads the Steelers with 55 receptions for 850 yards, had to sit out after missing practice late in the week.
The absence of Pickens meant he would not have the opportunity to face off against Cleveland Browns defensive back Greg Newsome II. The two players had a contentious encounter during the previous game between the teams, with a physical altercation occurring on the field.
