One half of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ QB equation is simple. If Kenny Pickett is cleared through concussion protocol and has enough practice reps, he’ll start this weekend against the Carolina Panthers. But if Pickett is unable to go, it seems like a toss-up who will get the nod, Mitch Trubisky or Mason Rudolph.
Tuesday, Mike Tomlin kept it open-ended as to why is the #2 QB on the team. Trubisky has served in that role since being benched four weeks into the season. But after a three-interception performance in Sunday’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens, it may be a competition for that role.
