Kenny Pickett Officially Ruled Out For Week 16
Kenny Pickett Officially Ruled Out For Week 16
11 months ago
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Saturday's Week 16 contest against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. Pickett will miss his third straight game due to a high-ankle sprain. The Steelers were leaving the door open for him to potentially return this weekend, and he was limited in practice on Tuesday and Wednesday, but he just wasn't able to make enough progress to get the green light to play. The 25-year-old will now hope to make more progress next week and play in Week 17 against the Seahawks in Seattle. Pittsburgh is rolling with Mason Rudolph for his first start of the year against Cincinnati after Trubisky did not look good at all in his two starts in place of Pickett. Rudolph will be a low-end QB2 option in superflex leagues, at best.
