Steelers’ Kenny Pickett ruled out for Week 15 vs Colts due to ankle injury
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin reportedly ruled quarterback Kenny Pickett out for Week 15, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Pickett is battling an ankle injury and will miss Saturday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts.
The Steelers were most recently defeated by the New England Patriots, losing 21-18 with Mitch Tribusky, who will start this upcoming Saturday, under center. Pittsburgh now holds a 7-6 record after losing back-to-back games. They are trying to earn a postseason spot and will need to find a way to win amid their QB’s absence Saturday versus the Colts.
It’s been an up-and-down season for this Steelers team. There is still hope, though. If the Steelers can remain in contention then perhaps Pickett will return and help the Steelers make a playoff run down the road.
Can the Steelers rebound amid Kenny Pickett’s injury absence?
He’s enjoyed some impressive games, but has also endured a few very forgettable performances. The Steelers believe in Pickett’s potential despite the inconsistency.
Finding a way to win without Pickett will be Pittsburgh’s goal this week. Tribute is a veteran QB who’s played in many big games before. He is not the best quarterback, but Treasury is a capable backup option.
