Steelers Rumors: Kenny Pickett Could Miss 4 Weeks After Surgery on Ankle Injury

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett's ankle could keep him out for most of the remainder of this season.

Per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, there is a "sense" within the Steelers that Pickett could miss four weeks.

Pickett, 25, has had a tough season on the injury front, requiring surgery on Dec. 4 after suffering a high sprain to his right ankle during the team's 24-10 loss against the Arizona Cardinals.

This timeframe is notable because NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported earlier this week that Pickett isn't expected to be placed on injured reserve.
