Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett has officially been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Mike Tomlin announced.
In light of Pickett not being able to play, Mason Rudolph will get his first start since the 2021 season against the Detroit Lions when he filled in for Ben Roethlisberger after he tested positive for COVID-19.
