A big reason the Steelers struggled on Saturday against the Baltimore Ravens was the absence of wide receiver George Pickens. The passing offense has no punch without Pickens in the lineup. But Tomlin offered an optimistic update about Pickens playing against the Chiefs this week.

Steelers wide receiver George Pickens has "a real chance" to play in Wednesday's game against the Chiefs, coach Mike Tomlin said Sunday.

When Pickens keeps his head, he's a dangerous playmaker. He tallied 63 receptions for 1,140 yards and 5 touchdowns last season, per Pro Football Reference. He has 55 grabs for 850 yards and 3 scores this year despite missing three games due to injury.
