Iffy for Week 15 Head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Pickett remains in the concussion protocols and added that the quarterback's participation in practice this week will be critical in guidin... Impact According to Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site, Tomlin said that Pickett cleared the protocols upon initially exiting Sunday's loss to the Ravens after being sacked by Roquan Smith. However, Pickett was then re-evaluated and was deemed unable to continue. Now in the concussion protocols for the second time this season, the rookie QB may face an uphill battle to gain clearance for the weekend. If that's the case, Tomlin noted that the Steelers will keep both Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph prepared, as the two quarterbacks are set to split first-team reps in practice this week if Pickett isn't available for on-field work. The Steelers will likely wait until the end of the week before naming a starter for Sunday's contest.
