Steelers Rumors: Mitch Trubisky to Start vs. Panthers After Pickett Concussion

The Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly expected to start Mitch Trubisky at quarterback in Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Steelers rookie starting quarterback Kenny Pickett is in concussion protocol and doubtful for Sunday's game, necessitating the move to Trubisky.

Trubisky and Mason Rudolph reportedly split first-team snaps at practice this week, but rather than Rudolph getting his first start of the season, Trubisky is in line to earn his fifth.
