Steelers' Mason Rudolph to start again if Kenny Pickett still out

PITTSBURGH -- Quarterback Mason Rudolph already saved the Pittsburgh Steelers' Christmas with a win against the Cincinnati Bengals, and now he'll have the opportunity to bring his team a shiny start to the New Year, too.

Though coach Mike Tomlin stopped short of naming Rudolph the starter against the Seattle Seahawks on New Year's Eve, he said Rudolph will start the week with the ball as Kenny Pickett continues to rehab following his Dec. 4 TightRope ankle surgery.

"We're in the same position with Kenny as we were last week," Tomlin said Tuesday.
