Injury Roundup: Mike Tomlin Expects QB Kenny Pickett To Start Versus Raiders

Speaking during his Tuesday press conference, Mike Tomlin said he expects QB Kenny Pickett to return from his one-game absence and start Saturday night’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Per Tomlin, Pickett is essentially out of concussion protocol, only needing to “check a box” to officially exit it.. Tomlin said if the team was practicing today, Pickett would be a full participant. The Steelers will hold their first practice of the week tomorrow and it sounds like Pickett won’t have any limitations.
