Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett is recovering from minor surgery for a sprained ankle.
Mitchell Trubisky needs to be under center as the team competes for a playoff spot.
But new details have emerged about when Pickett will be back on the field.
From @NFLGameDay Kickoff: #Steelers QB Kenny Pickett is pushing to play next week, but Week 17 against the #Seahawks is a little more realistic.
In the meantime, there’s a realistic chance that RB Jonathan Taylor (thumb) will be back for next week’s matchup.
Pittsburgh Steelers’ Kenny Pickett encourages plays
Pickett is scheduled to play in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks.
NFL Insider Ian Rapoport had this to say about the situation: “I understand he’s pushing to play next week, but that’s going to happen incredibly quickly, less than three weeks after rope surgery, and certainly if he.
If he passes a flexibility test and a pain test, he could potentially play.
But my understanding is that this must be similar to what happened when he had rope surgery in college.
He played after 26 days.
That would get him back on track for Week 17 against the Seahawks.
He suffered a similar injury in college and played after 26 days.
This puts him on track to play in Week 17.
Pickett has struggled this year, but he is the best quarterback on their roster.
Can the Steelers hold on?
There are many teams in the AFC that can advance to the playoffs.
At this point, all teams from 6th to 11th in the conference have a chance to advance to the postseason.
The most important thing for the Steelers is whether their offense can produce a lot of points.
T.J.
Watt is one of the best defensive players in the league and can turn games around.
All they need is for the offense to sustain drives and at least allow him to score 20 points.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are in first place thanks to their early season success.
However, they need to keep winning to advance to the postseason.
