Ticketed for backup role Pickett (ankle) will likely serve as the backup quarterback in Saturday's game against the Ravens, according to Chris Adamski of TribLive.com.

Impact Pickett is on track to suit up Saturday for the first time since Week 13, but even if he does he will not start, as head coach Mike Tomline revealed that Mason Rudolph will be under center for a third straight contest. Pickett's participation -- or lack thereof -- at practice later this week will likely determine whether or not he will be on the roster for Week 18.

Limited practice session Wednesday Pickett (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Pickett is gradually working his way back from a Dec. 4 procedure on his right ankle, but at this stage it appears that the Steelers are proceeding as though Mason Rudolph will start Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Added clarity regarding Pickett's Week 17 status will arrive no later than Friday's final injury report, but given Rudolph's strong play in this past Saturday's 34-11 win over the Bengals, the Steelers can afford to proceed deliberately with Pickett.

Not trending toward Week 17 start Head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Pickett (ankle) is "in the same position" with his injury as last week, with Tomlin noting that Mason Rudolph is "scheduled to be" the Stee...

Impact Tomlin stopped short of guaranteeing that Rudolph will make a second straight start after he threw for 290 yards and two touchdowns in this past Saturday's 34-11 win over the Bengals, but the Steelers appear set to go with Rudolph again while Pickett's health remains something of a question mark. After missing the Steelers' previous two games while recovering from right ankle surgery, Pickett was cleared to resume individual work, but he didn't make enough progress to attain active status for the Week 16 matchup with the Bengals. Tomlin noted that the Steelers will see where Pickett is at from a mobility standpoint by the end of the practice week before ruling on his status and/or determining his role for Sunday's game. Even if Pickett isn't able to mix into drills with the first-team offense this week, it's possible that he could still be active as Rudolph's backup over Mitch Trubisky if the Steelers feel comfortable with Pickett's ability to move around the pocket.
