Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett will miss Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals with an ankle sprain, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Mason Rudolph will start in his place.
Pickett exited Pittsburgh's 24-10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13 due to a high ankle sprain. He underwent surgery the following day and missed the following two contests against the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts.
While the Steelers declined to place Pickett on injured reserve, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported Dec. 6 there was an internal belief he could be out for four weeks.
