PITTSBURGH -- Quarterback Kenny Pickett sustained an ankle injury midway through the second quarter of the Pittsburgh Steelers' game against the Arizona Cardinals and will not return. Quarterback Mitch Trubisky will take over for the second half.

Pickett injured his ankle when he kept the ball on third down near the Steelers' goal line and scrambled forward, diving for the end zone. Cardinals defensive lineman Jonathan Ledbetter dove to tackle Pickett from behind, pinning the quarterback's left ankle as he came down. Pickett also entered the game with right ankle discomfort sustained in the win against the Cincinnati Bengals.
