George Pickens to miss another game, T.J Watt listed as doubtful….
The Pittsburgh Steelers are facing significant challenges heading into their next game, as wide receiver George Pickens has been ruled out for another week, while star linebacker T.J. Watt is listed as doubtful. Pickens, who has been sidelined due to a lingering injury, will miss his second consecutive game. The absence of the talented wideout puts additional pressure on the Steelers’ receiving corps, with Diontae Johnson and Allen Robinson II expected to take on larger roles.
On the defensive side, T.J. Watt’s uncertain status adds to the team’s concerns. Watt, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, has been dealing with an undisclosed injury, and while he hasn’t been officially ruled out, the coaching staff is reportedly leaning toward caution. Should Watt be unavailable, the Steelers will rely on Alex Highsmith and Markus Golden to fill the void in their pass rush.
With both Pickens and Watt potentially unavailable, the Steelers face a tough task against a strong opponent as they continue to navigate a competitive AFC playoff race. Head coach Mike Tomlin emphasized that the team’s focus remains on ensuring the health of their key players, but their absence could significantly impact the team’s chances in this crucial matchup. Fans will be watching closely for any updates on Watt’s availability as game day approaches.
