Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens has been ruled inactive for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns due to a hamstring injury sustained late in the week. Despite head coach Mike Tomlin expressing optimism that Pickens would play, after pre-game evaluations, the team decided to prioritize his long-term health and opted to sit him. The decision was made shortly before kickoff, leaving the Steelers without one of their key offensive weapons as they face their division rival.
