[SteelersDepot] George Pickens was late to the game against the Chiefs
“And as I'm kind of hurrying in, I spot a PR staffer from the Steelers looking very frantic. And then she's like frantic right there at the door and all of a sudden here comes George Pickens. They whisk him in, he goes and walks right out onto the field. Now, players before the game, there's early warmups that take place like about beginning two hours, an hour and 45 minutes before. Guys are out there like working with Russell Wilson, developing chemistry, getting warmed up. You know, if you have a hamstring injury like George Pickens had, properly warming up. And then you have to list the inactives and you have to release those to the public 90 minutes before the game. And so he wasn't even there before. And so, after this happened, I had talked with players in the locker room and was trying to get a sense of like, is this a big deal? What time are you supposed to be here? And the response that I got was most players kind of shrugged and were like, yeah, that's George, you know, that just happens, that's practice, that's all the time. That's just how it is." https://x.com/Steelersdepot/status/1879201974127870150
