Get ready for Mitchell Trubisky vs. Bailey Zappe in primetime.
Steelers starting quarterback Kenny Pickett will miss Pittsburgh’s Thursday night matchup with the New England Patriots at Acrisure Stadium, according to multiple reports Sunday night.
The ankle injury that knocked Pickett out of his team’s 24-10 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday reportedly will require surgery and sideline him for multiple games.
Trubisky is expected to start in Pickett’s place. The former Chicago Bear went 11-for-17 for 117 yards and a touchdown in relief against Arizona.
