- Pickett was inactive during Steelers 30-20 defeat to Seahawks
- Steelers (9-7) still have won back-to-back games behind Mason Rudolph
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett says the coaching staff felt he wasn’t ready to play against Seattle, which is why he was inactive during Pittsburgh’s 30-20 win over the Seahawks.
The second-year pro, who had right ankle surgery a month ago, denied online speculation that he told the coaching staff he didn’t want to suit up as a backup behind Mason Rudolph.
