The Kenny Pickett era in Pittsburgh will officially begin a new chapter this week.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Steelers are expected to replace Mitch Trubisky in the lineup with Pickett, paving the way for the rookie to make his first NFL start against the Bills on Sunday.
Pickett, Pittsburgh’s first-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft, relieved Trubisky at the start of the third quarter in Sunday’s game against the Jets. His debut proved to be up-and-down as he gave the Steelers offense a spark, but couldn’t do enough to pick up the victory in his debut.
