George Pickens seemingly mocks injured Ravens’ defender

George Pickens just can’t seem to keep his immature antics out of the spotlight, as he displayed another poor example of decision-making in the Steelers’ Week 11 contest against the Ravens.

Around the halfway point of the second quarter, Ravens DT Travis Jones, who was nursing an ankle injury heading into the contest, went down to the turf clutching his leg. While Jones was surrounded by concerned teammates, Pickens seemingly began to mock the Ravens’ injured player.

It is difficult to make out exactly what Pickens was saying to the Baltimore Ravens defenders; however, fans can infer from his body language that he was not there to check on the injured player, and was intent on trash talking the Baltimore defense.

Jones would ultimately limp off to the blue medical tent and was quickly cleared to return to the Week 11 contest. While the bad blood between the two AFC North rivals was obvious throughout the game, it never bodes well for one’s public perception to openly trash talk an injured player, let alone in the exact moment of injury.
