Mike Tomlin named George Pickens, along with Justin Fields, Larry Ogunjobi, DeShon Elliott and Donte Jackson, as players who missed Saturday’s loss to the Ravens but could return Saturday against the Chiefs, per ESPN’s Brooke Pryor. G

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has offered a glimmer of hope to fans eagerly anticipating the return of several key players. According to ESPN’s Brooke Pryor, Tomlin named wide receiver George Pickens, quarterback Justin Fields, defensive lineman Larry Ogunjobi, safety DeShon Elliott, and cornerback Donte Jackson as players who missed Saturday’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens but could potentially suit up for the upcoming game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The absence of these pivotal athletes was felt during the Steelers’ narrow defeat to their AFC North rivals. George Pickens, known for his dynamic playmaking ability, and Justin Fields, a dual-threat quarterback, were particularly missed on the offensive front. On defense, the absence of Ogunjobi’s presence on the line, Elliott’s leadership in the secondary, and Jackson’s speed and coverage skills left noticeable gaps.

Tomlin’s announcement comes as a morale booster for a team aiming to bounce back against a formidable Chiefs squad. While the potential returns are not yet confirmed, the coach’s optimism has stirred excitement among fans and analysts alike.

The Steelers face a challenging task against the Chiefs, whose offense, led by Patrick Mahomes, is among the most explosive in the league. The possible return of these players could bolster both the offensive and defensive units, giving the Steelers a much-needed boost as they prepare for one of their toughest tests of the season.

With playoff aspirations on the line, all eyes will be on the injury report leading up to Saturday’s game. Steelers fans are hopeful that these stars will make their comeback and help secure a crucial victory.
