Come Saturday afternoon, the Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to start their third different quarterback of the season. Mason Rudolph is in line to get the nod over Mitch Trubisky, as confirmed by Mike Tomlin yesterday and the team’s updated depth chart today. Barring QB Kenny Pickett healing quickly enough to start, Rudolph will be in the starting lineup for the first time since the 2021 season.
One of the longest-tenured players on the Steelers, Rudolph has the confidence of the guys he’ll be throwing to. Like Diontae Johnson, who praised Rudolph during a Tuesday presser with the media.
