‘He’s Gonna Play Unless You Cut His Legs Off:’ Pickett’s Personal QB Coach Confident He’ll Start Sunday

When Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett went down with a knee injury against the Houston Texans on Sunday, it looked like the young quarterback’s season was in jeopardy as he limped off the field. However, news came out in the following days that Pickett suffered a bone bruise rather than a dreaded ligament injury that would have cost him the season, meaning that he could return to action relatively soon.

By relatively soon, that means this coming weekend against the Baltimore Ravens. Head coach Mike Tomlin mentioned in his press conference that Pickett was going to practice this week and that the team would leave the door open for him to return to start against Baltimore.
