Losing on the scoreboard wasn't the only loss that the Pittsburgh Steelers suffered yesterday afternoon, as quarterback Kenny Pickett was forced from the game after suffering an injury.

However, there is good news to be shared. According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, Pickett avoided what looked like it could have been an ACL injury and isn't expected to have to miss significant time. Additionally, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the following on his X (Twitter) account: 

"Steelers’ QB Kenny Pickett is not expected to miss much if any time due to the knee injury that forced him to leave Sunday’s game, per sources. Pickett could try to push this week vs. Baltimore but the team also knows it has a bye the next week and could opt to rest him."

Pickett is in his second year as the Steelers starting quarterback, and has thrown for a total of 803 yards, four touchdowns and four interceptions with a 60.6 completion percentage so far in four games in 2023. 

Right now, the Steelers still have time to make up ground in the AFC North division with a 2-2 record. They take on the Baltimore Ravens in Week 5 before getting their bye week.
