Mitch Trubisky will serve as the Steelers starting quarterback for Sunday’s game against the Panthers, the team announced Saturday afternoon.
Mike Tomlin will turn to the former No. 2 pick once again after Pittsburgh officially ruled out rookie starter Kenny Pickett with a concussion. Pickett was forced to leave last weekend’s game against the Ravens after just two drives when his head hit the ground hard on a sack by Baltimore linebacker Roquan Smith.
Trubisky, who started four games for the Steelers to begin the year, will get the nod over Mason Rudolph.
