After Gerry Dulac reported that Kenny Pickett’s knee injury isn’t serious, NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport passed along the actual nature of the injury. Pickett has a bone bruise in his left knee, in addition to a muscle strain, although the report doesn’t specify whether the strain is in his knee or elsewhere.
It’s good news for the Steelers, seeing as Pickett avoided something more serious. It was reported that it was likely an MCL injury this morning, with potential for the meniscus to be damaged as well. But the MRI came back relatively clean, and Pickett has a shot at playing this weekend.
