Steelers' Tomlin: Kenny Pickett to be game-time call for TNF

Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback Kenny Pickett will be a game-time decision for Thursday night's game against the Tennessee Titans because of his rib injury, coach Mike Tomlin said Monday.

Starting safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, meanwhile, has been ruled out for Thursday night's game with his hamstring injury, Tomlin announced.

Both Pickett and Fitzpatrick sustained their injuries in the Steelers' 20-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

Pickett suffered his injury when he was drilled by Jaguars defensive end Adam Gotsis on a first-down pass attempt with 17 seconds left in the first half.
