Steelers sticking with QB Mason Rudolph over Kenny Pickett in pivotal finale

Mason Rudolph will make a third straight start for the Steelers even with Kenny Pickett expected to be available following ankle surgery.

JANUARY 1

Serving as No. 2 QB this week Head coach Mike Tomlin announced Thursday that Trubisky will serve as the No. 2 quarterback behind Mason Rudolph for Saturday's game against the Bengals, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com r...

Impact Kenny Pickett will remain out for a third game in a row while recovering from tightrope surgery on his right ankle, but Trubisky will be bumped down to second on the depth chart in favor of Rudolph after starting the prior two contests. Trubisky went 0-2 during his brief run as a starter, completing 38 of 58 pass attempts for 359 yards (6.2 YPA), two touchdowns and three interceptions while adding 31 yards and two scores on 10 carries. The Steelers benched Trubisky late in this past Saturday's 30-13 loss to the Colts and turned to Rudolph, who will now get his first start since the 2021 season. Pickett was a limited participant in practice Tuesday through Thursday and could be ready to return to the lineup Week 17 versus the Seahawks, so Trubisky may find himself as a healthy inactive for that contest as the Steelers' emergency No. 3 quarterback.

Impact With Pickett set to be inactive for the second week in a row, Mason Rudolph will serve as the No. 2 quarterback behind Trubisky, who could have a shorter leash in Week 15 after turning in a listless showing against the 3-10 Patriots in this past Thursday's 21-18 loss. He completed 22 of 35 passes for 190 yards, one touchdown and one interception and added 30 yards and a score on eight carries, and he was spared another interception in the first half when a Patriots defender was called for pass interference. Trubisky profiles as a lower-end fantasy option for Week 15, though the rushing ability that he displayed this past Thursday and during his time with the Bears could give him some appeal in leagues that start two quarterbacks or have a QB flex spot.

Largely ineffective in start Trubisky completed 22 of 35 passes for 190 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the Steelers' 21-18 loss to the Patriots on Thursday night. He also rushed eight times for...

Impact Making his first start of Kenny Pickett's (ankle) multi-game absence, Trubisky turned in a lackluster effort that featured plenty of inaccurate throws and just 5.4 yards per attempt. The veteran did serve as the Steelers' leading rusher -- albeit with a modest yardage total -- and connected with Diontae Johnson on a 25-yard touchdown pass late in the second quarter. Trubisky added a one-yard scoring sneak early in the fourth quarter following a blocked punt that set the Steelers up in excellent field position, and he added a sharp two-point conversion pass to Pat Freiermuth after that touchdown. However, Pittsburgh's next two drives ended in a punt and on downs, and Trubisky then padded his final numbers with 24- and 21-yard completions to Johnson and Allen Robinson, respectively, on the final two plays. With some additional time between Thursday's contest and a Week 15 Saturday afternoon road matchup against the Colts on Dec. 16, it remains to be seen if Trubisky is usurped by Mason Rudolph for a start if Pickett remains out as is highly likely.

Mitch Trubisky thinks he can still be a starting quarterback. His next chance begins Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mitch Trubisky is trying to focus on his present and not his future

DECEMBER 5, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Confirmed for Week 14 start Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Trubisky will start at quarterback Thursday against the Patriots, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Trubisky will step in for his first start of the season as a replacement for Kenny Pickett, who exited Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Cardinals with a right high-ankle sprain and underwent surgery Monday. Though Tomlin clarified that the injury won't end Pickett's season, the second-year signal-caller is expected to miss "a couple weeks," according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Trubisky could thus be in line for an additional start or two beyond Thursday's game, which features a matchup of two teams who both rank in the bottom third in the league in both points and yards per game. Though Trubisky has shown flashes of fantasy relevance in the past thanks to his scrambling ability, he hasn't been particularly impressive over roughly five quarters of work while filing in for a banged-up Pickett this season. Across those three appearances, Trubisky has completed 29 of 49 pass attempts (59.2 percent) for 273 yards (5.6 YPA), two touchdowns and two interceptions while carrying six times for 23 yards.

Impact Trubisky entered Sunday's matchup in the second quarter after Kenny Pickett (ribs) left the game and served as the Steelers' quarterback for the remainder of the game since Pickett was ruled out for the afternoon. Trubisky wasn't particularly effective in relief and was unable to lead the Steelers to the win. Pickett was initially expected to return to the game before being ruled out, so it's possible he'll be available in Week 9. However, Pittsburgh has a short week before facing the Titans on Thursday, so a better idea of the Steelers' plans at quarterback should come into focus based on Pickett's participation in practice early this week. Trubisky would presumably serve as the Steelers' starting quarterback versus Tennessee if Pickett is unable to suit up.
