The Pittsburgh Steelers are optimistic about the return of key players for their upcoming matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17. Head coach Mike Tomlin mentioned that wide receiver George Pickens, safety DeShon Elliott, defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi, quarterback Justin Fields, and cornerback Donte Jackson could all be back on the field after missing recent games due to injuries.

With the playoffs approaching, the Steelers are eager to have their star wideout Pickens return from a hamstring injury, especially as they aim to maintain their hopes for the AFC North title. The potential return of Elliott and Ogunjobi would also strengthen the defense against the formidable Chiefs offense led by Patrick Mahomes. Additionally, Jackson's comeback is crucial for the secondary, which is currently dealing with injuries to other players.
