Pickett, who suffered a left knee contusion on Sunday, was seen stretching and throwing during the portion of the practice open to photography, which does not include any team or full-contact periods. The Steelers are wearing pads for their practice, as Tomlin suggested they would after he perceived them to be the less physical team in their Week 4 loss to the Houston Texans.
