Garafolo: Kenny Pickett Has ‘Real Shot’ To Play Against Ravens

Despite suffering what looked to be a serious knee injury in Sunday’s loss to the Houston Texans, QB Kenny Pickett might not miss a game. According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, Pickett has a “legitimate’ chance to play this weekend against the Baltimore Ravens.

“Starting late Monday and into Tuesday, I got the sense he’s got a real shot to play this weekend,” he said.

Diagnosed with a bone bruise, Garafolo noted it’s more of a pain tolerance issue than anything else for Pickett to play in Week Five. There will also be an issue of mobility and how well he can scramble and extend the play, something he’s apt to do.
