Pickett went down with a rib injury in the first half of Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars and did not return. He threw for 73 yards on 10-of-16 passing before exiting and was replaced by Mitchell Trubisky.

The Pitt product has been a disappointment in his second NFL season, throwing for 1,330 yards and five touchdowns against four interceptions.
