The Pittsburgh Steelers have ruled out QB Kenny Pickett on Thursday after practice, per Brooke Pryor of ESPN. In Week 15’s game against the Indianapolis Colts, Mitch Trubisky was pulled in favor of Mason Rudolph with just over two minutes remaining in the game. That trend continued with the Steelers updating their depth chart early in the week to reflect Rudolph as the primary backup.
Former Steelers DL Chris Hoke joined 93.7 The Fans’ The Cook & Joe show on Thursday morning and discussed what Rudolph can bring to the offense.
“I think Mason can give a boost to this offense,” said Hoke.
