Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett was slammed down hard on a sack, and that led to Mitchell Trubisky getting another shot to play.
The odd part about it is the Steelers said Pickett was cleared to return after being evaluated for a concussion, and he came back for a series. Trubisky came in after that series.
The hit on Pickett came in the first quarter, as he was whipped around and slammed to the ground on a sack by Baltimore Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith. Pickett got up slow and it was apparent he was hurting. The team announced he did not have a concussion though.— Pittsburgh Steelers Pickett came in after he was cleared, the Steelers went three-and-out with Pickett throwing incomplete on his only attempt, and then the Steelers decided to pull him for Trubisky.
Trubisky began the season as the Steelers' starter, but was benched after a slow start. Pickett, a first-round pick, has been playing better lately, as have the Steelers as a whole. But on Sunday they weren't taking chances with their hurting rookie QB.
