When QB Kenny Pickett got knocked out of the game yesterday against the Arizona Cardinals, backup QB Mitch Trubisky came in as the backup to finish the contest in what would be a 24-10 loss for Pittsburgh at home. Trubisky didn’t play bad, completing 11-of-17 pass attempts for 117 yards and a touchdown, but the offense failed to get anything going in the sloppy, weather-delayed game, ultimately falling to a Cardinals game that many expected Pittsburgh to beat.
Early Monday morning, it was reported that Pickett would undergo surgery to mend his high ankle injury suffered yesterday, effectively knocking him out of Pittsburgh’s game this week against the New England Patriots.
