The Pittsburgh Steelers receiving core has been given the gift of good health this Christmas.
No. 1 option George Pickens is set to return against the Kansas City Chiefs on Wednesday after missing three weeks with a hamstring Injury, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Tuesday.
The 23-year-old has 55 catches for 850 yards this season, both team bests, along with three touchdowns in 12 games played.
Pickens was going through post-practice drills on Dec. 6 when he felt his hamstring tighten up, resulting in him missing game action for the first time in his three-year NFL career.
The six-foot-three pass catcher has been quarterback Russell Wilson's primary weapon by a large margin. Pickens' team-high 90 targets are 31 more than any other receiving option.
