While the Pittsburgh Steelers debuted one of their new quarterbacks Friday night in the preseason opener against the Houston Texans as Justin Fields started the game and saw three series, 250 miles to the south with the team from the other side of the Commonwealth, Kenny Pickett made his preseason debut with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Pickett, who was traded to the Eagles in March after requesting a trade from the Steelers, had a strong showing in his debut, completing 14-of-22 passes for 89 yards, leading a touchdown drive in the Eagles’ matchup at M&T Bank Stadium against the Baltimore Ravens, a familiar opponent.
