Kenny Pickett Pushing To Return In Week 16
12 months agoPittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (ankle) is "pushing to play" against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. However, Rapoport notes that delaying his return to Week 17 "is a bit more realistic." Regardless, it appears that the second-year quarterback is making progress and will be healthy for the Steelers' two-game road trip at the end of the regular season. Getting him back on the field would bode well for the fantasy values of several Pittsburgh playmakers, including Diontae Johnson, Najee Harris, and Jaylen Warren. Until then, Mitch Trubisky will fill in as the starter under center.
