The sophomore quarterback limped off during Week 13.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett has gingerly left the field during their Week 13 match against the Arizona Cardinals.

The sophomore quarterback was slow to his feet after diving for the goal line on a third down scramble.

Pickett - who was a yard short with his dive - was assisted off the field and into the locker room.

Steelers' Senior Director of Communications Burt Lauten has reported that Pickett is questionable to return with an ankle injury.

Veteran Mitch Trubisky came on in Pickett's place, and the Steelers could not convert on 4th & Goal on his first snap of the game.

The 2017 number two overall pick has already covered for Pickett during the 2023 season following a previous injury.

So far this season Trubisky has compelted 18 of 32 passes for 156 yards and a touchdown - while also throwing two interceptions.
