The Pittsburgh Steelers' wide receiver, George Pickens, returned to practice on Thursday after missing a full session due to a shin injury. Although he participated in practice, Pickens was limited in his capacity. As of now, there is no indication that Pickens will miss Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. This is significant as Pickens has not missed a single game in his two-year NFL career.

While the injury was not mentioned by Pickens or coach Mike Tomlin after last Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns, Pickens' return to practice suggests that the injury is not severe enough to keep him out of upcoming games. However, it remains to be seen how much playing time he will receive and if his injury will impact his performance on the field.

In addition to Pickens, several other players also participated in limited practice, including defensive linemen Cameron Heyward and Montravius Adams, cornerback James Pierre, and rookie outside linebacker Nick Herbig. These players are recovering from various injuries but are expected to be available for Sunday's game.

As for the Bengals, wide receiver Tee Higgins and cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt have been ruled out due to hamstring and quad injuries, respectively. Meanwhile, the Steelers will be without Minkah Fitzpatrick, who continues to be sidelined with a hamstring injury.
