This clears the runway for Russell Wilson to take over the starting role throughout the offseason. Pickett will be in pole position to backup Jalen Hurts.

Nine-time Pro-Bowl QB and former Super-Bowl champ Russell Wilson plans to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers, per league sources. Wilson will sign a team-friendly, one-year deal in which the Broncos will wind up paying $38 million of his salary while Wilson wears the black and yellow.

The new pairing of Wilson and OC Arthur Smith is a clear upgrade on the last two seasons of Matt Canada/Kenny Pickett/Mason Rudolph. Though Wilson himself is unlikely to be a weekly starter in typical 1QB leagues, Diontae Johnson, George Pickens, and even Pat Freiermuth should all get a tick upwards.

Smith should form a gameplan that will include play action and middle-of-the-field targets that were missing from the offense in 2023.

After playing well in Saturday’s victory over the Bengals, Mason Rudolph is once again in line to start for the Steelers in Week 17.

But head coach Mike Tomlin stopped short of saying Rudolph will definitely start on New Year’s Eve against the Seahawks.

Via Brooke Pryor of ESPN, Tomlin said Pickett — who’s recovering from ankle surgery — is still in the same position as he was last week. Rudolph will get the starter’s reps at the start of the practice week and the club will see where Pickett’s mobility is as the week continues, the story went on to say.

Mike Tomlin officially ruled out QB Kenny Pickett for Saturday’s game vs. Cincinnati. Steelers’ QB Mason Rudolph officially starts.

It is very unlikely that Rudolph hits the ground running to bolster this anemic offense. The last time we saw a Mason Rudolph start was in Week 10 of the 2021 season, when it took him 52 dropbacks to grind out 242 yards, with 4.8 yards per attempt. He is a desperation-play Superflex option, even in a good matchup against the Bengals defense.

The Steelers expect Mason Rudolph to start Saturday’s game against the Bengals, but Kenny Pickett is pointed in the right direction of being the backup this week.

Pickett returned to limited work Tuesday.

He has missed the past two weeks after tightrope surgery on a high ankle sprain, the story said. Pickett isn't expected to play this week despite his return to practice, however as we reported Monday, Tomlin and the Steelers have yet to officially rule Pickett out for Week 16.

The Steelers are benching QB Mitch Trubisky and going with Mason Rudolph this week, coach Mike Tomlin announced.

Rudolph will get to lead the Steelers sleigh just in time for Christmas. But, there likely isn't going to be a dramatic change in the offense when all is said an done. Rudolph got the call with about six minutes left in the game after Trubisky threw a bad interception with the team trailing 27-13 and needing a quick score. Rudolph was just 2 for 3 for three yards in his time. One thing to note is other reports say Tomlin said Pickett is improving and hasn't been ruled out. The Steelers play another Saturday game, this time against the Bengals at home.

Steelers’ HC Mike Tomlin ruled out QB Kenny Pickett for Saturday’s game vs. the Colts. Mitch Trubisky starts again.

Trubisky threw for a TD and ran for another one last week against a tough Patriot defense that was coming off a stellar performance against the Chargers at home in Week 13. This week, Trubisky gets the Colts on the road on a Saturday game, which should at least be a better matchup on paper. However, Trubisky is a risky start in anything other than deeper, two QB or superflex leagues.

Steelers’ HC Mike Tomlin said QB Kenny Pickett underwent surgery on his high ankle sprain this morning and is out Thursday night vs. the Patriots.

The Steelers are hoping to have Pickett back at some point and still being in the playoff race when he's back in action. Initial reports said Pickett could miss 2-4 weeks, but the team hasn't updated that timetable following Sunday's loss and the surgery. Trubisky will get the start, but seems to have a tough task ahead of him with the New England defense on a short week.

Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's loss to the Cardinals and may miss a couple of weeks.

Mitch Trubisky will take over as the quarterback in the meantime. The Steelers have a short week coming up as they host the Patriots on Thursday. Pickett may also miss Week 15 against the Colts. Pickett left the game early, throwing just 10 passes and completing seven of them for 70 yards. Trubisky went 11/17 for 117 yards and a touchdown in the 24-10 loss. Pittsburgh is now in a four-way tie at 7-5 with the Browns, Colts and Texans atop the wild card race.

The Steelers have fired offensive coordinator Matt Canada.

No official announcement, but it's Pelissero's understanding the Steelers are expected to have RB coach Eddie Faulkner take over as OC, with QB coach Mike Sullivan handling play-calling duties. The offense struggled in a loss to the Browns, and, have been outproduced most of the season despite winning six games. Pelissero added HC Mike Tomlin usually doesn't make in-season changes, the move was made because the Steelers are "all-in on Pickett."
