Pittsburgh Steelers second-year quarterback Kenny Pickett will miss at least the next few games after undergoing ankle surgery their Week 13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Moaning and groaning about injuries doesn’t change that fact, and Mitch Trubisky is now the next man up. Trubisky doesn’t excite many fans — not in a good way anyway.
Could Trubisky temporarily taking over the reins be a positive thing for the Steelers and their young quarterback? What has held Pickett back as much as anything could be a reluctance to take chances with the football.
