As of this writing, it is not known the precise injury QB Kenny Pickett suffered yesterday, nor the extent. Preliminary speculation indicates that the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback may have injured his MCL, with Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk hopeful it is only a sprain.
With the team coming up in two weeks with a bye, there is a possibility that he doesn’t miss too much time. But for whatever time he does miss, the Steelers will have to turn to Mitch Trubisky as their answer. That’s not what former defensive lineman Chris Hoke would do, however.
“I think they need to go down a little deeper on that depth chart and bring up Mason Rudolph”, he said on the KDKA post-game show last night with Bob Pompeani, acknowledging that Trubisky would be the starter regardless of what he thinks.
