Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett received some positive news on Monday finding out he suffered a bone bruise on his knee. It could have been worse as it will only lead to a short absence.
That’s good. He appears to have a chance to start against the Ravens in Week 5.
Still, it didn’t appear that many people were necessarily jumping for joy in the latest development.
Not like Pickett is a game changer 😂

Additionally, Pickett has a muscle sprain, but hasn’t officially been ruled out for Sunday’s game.
Some even suggest resting him … forever?
Maybe just rest him forever. The guy kind of stinks and is not improving. Seems to be getting worse each week. A “trying to be cute” draft pick that will end up setting this franchise back.

I get the sentiment to play but man just rest bro. Maybe this will get Matt Canada fired quicker 😂😂

The fact that this injury isn’t worse is surprising with the way he landed and twisted on it against the Houston Texans during a sack on a 9-yard loss by Jonathan Greenard.
He also grabbed his knee quickly and showed obvious pain.
Clean pocket.
Holds on too long, panics, spins into a sack and an injury.
Going shotgun on 4th & 1 is sheer idiocy.
But somehow getting hurt on that play is literally adding injury to insult.
Both of these guys -Canada *and* Pickett- are a mess. pic.twitter.com/zjaJQ1G0Xb

Should Pickett not be able to start, Mitchell Trubisky would get the nod.
We want mitch

The Steelers offensive coordinator Matt Canada continues to receive criticism due to his calls.
Just recently, he was asked about some of the struggles the offense has faced and the heat following his quarterback following Week 3.
“Everything points to Kenny all the time … Sometimes he breaks the pocket, maybe he shouldn’t, everyone sits there watches and freeze-frames the clip, it’s pretty easy to say what might or not be the right thing to do,” Canada said, via Brian Batko of Post-Gazette Sports Now.
