In a recent game against the Cowboys, Steelers wide receiver George Pickens participated in only 34 out of 58 offensive snaps. Head coach Mike Tomlin clarified that this decision was a strategic load-management move rather than an indication of Pickens' performance or health.
- George Pickens' limited snap count was a planned decision by the coaching staff.
- Load management may be a strategy to keep key players fresh for the remainder of the season.
