Steelers release Wednesday injury report vs. Miami Dolphins, Kenny Pickett's status updated
Kenny Pickett was a full participant during the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Wednesday practice, head coach Mike Tomlin revealed. Pickett was removed from Week 6’s 20-18 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after being diagnosed with a concussion.
“It’s my understanding that his work won’t be limited in any way in preparation, and so we’ll adhere to the protocol, and we’ll follow that and let that be our guide in terms of participation,” said Tomlin during his weekly press conference. “I’ll say this. If he’s cleared to play, he’ll play. He’ll play quarterback for us. In the meanwhile, man, we’ll ready ourselves. He’ll be a full participant is my understanding. So, we’ll have him and Mitch working at the quarterback position.”
Pickett’s status will depend on how much he’s able to participate this week, and getting full clearance from the Steelers’ training staff on Wednesday is a great sign for the rookie quarterback. He was set take all of his reps Wednesday, “unless something changes,” Tomlin said.
