PITTSBURGH -- Mike Tomlin isn't ready to land the plane quite yet.
While Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett will be listed as doubtful for Sunday's game at the Carolina Panthers, Tomlin said Friday he wouldn't name a starting quarterback until Saturday. Both Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph have taken first-team practice reps this week.
"We got some clarity about where we're going," the Steelers coach said Friday. "There's just no need to land the plane until it's required to land the plane. I like the work that we've gotten from Mitch and Mason this week.
