Steelers QB Kenny Pickett On Track to Play Sunday Despite Knee Injury

The Pittsburgh Steelers listed quarterback Kenny Pickett as a full participant in Thursday's practice.

After being limited on Tuesday and Wednesday, a full practice on Thursday puts the second-year quarterback on track to play in the team's Week 5 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

Pickett left last week's game against the Houston Texas with an injury in the third quarter. The injury was later diagnosed as a bone bruise, but the Steelers did not anticipate him to miss much time.

Backup quarterback Mitchell Trubisky came in when Pickett went down, with Pittsburgh trailing 16-6. The Steelers lost 30-6 and fell to 2-2 on the season.

Pickett, the former 2022 first-round pick, has completed 60.3% of his attempts for 803 yards, four touchdowns and four interceptions through the first four weeks of the season. The Steelers are 29th in the league in points per game (15.5).

Pittsburgh is tied with the Cleveland Browns for second place in the AFC North, one game behind the Ravens. Following a matchup with the division leaders on Sunday, the Steelers will have a bye-week before traveling to Los Angeles to face the Rams in Week 7.
