Steelers' WR George Pickens expected to play against the Browns, pending injury test.

Why it matters: Pickens' presence on the field could significantly impact the outcome of the game between the Steelers and the Browns.

What's new: Pickens appeared on the injury report as questionable with a hamstring injury but participated in limited practice, indicating progress in his recovery.

  • He is the Steelers' top receiver, with impressive stats this season: 55 receptions for 850 yards and three touchdowns.
  • The Steelers are seeking revenge after their loss to the Browns last month, adding an extra layer of intensity to the matchup.

Yes, but: Pickens' recent comments about the Browns being a subpar team and his altercation with Cleveland's Greg Newsome may add fuel to the rivalry and potentially affect the dynamics on the field.

What to watch: Keep an eye on Pickens during the game to assess his performance and any impact his injury might have on his playing ability.

What's next: Pending a successful injury test, Pickens will likely be cleared to play against the Browns.

The bottom line: If Pickens can perform at his usual level, his presence could greatly benefit the Steelers' offense and contribute to their chances of securing a victory over their division rivals.
