Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens won’t play in Week 14’s matchup against the Cleveland Browns due to a hamstring injury he suffered during practice on Friday. Despite not practicing earlier in the week, Pickens returned to practice and spoke to the media, downplaying the importance of Browns cornerback Greg Newsome II. In his absence, Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin III will likely step up in the WR corps, with Mike Williams potentially seeing increased targets. The Steelers (9-3) face off against the struggling Browns (3-9) at 1 p.m. ET Sunday.
