Next man up, the standard is the standard, blah blah blah.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are facing the prospect of riding out the remainder of the season with Mitch Trubisky at quarterback after Kenny Pickett suffered an ankle injury that reportedly will require surgery. He is expected to miss at least two to four weeks, but with just five games left to play, if it’s any more than that, and the Steelers don’t make the playoffs, he is done for the year.
It’s a good thing that the team has confidence in Trubisky, then. “My faith is up here”, WR Diontae Johnson told Chris Adamski after the game, gesturing above his head, saying that he throws with him during practice.
