Mike Tomlin said Kenny Pickett is in concussion protocol, but he should be able to practice tomorrow and "if he's cleared to play, he'll play quarterback" Sunday night in Miami.

Related players: Mitch Trubisky

Pickett is expected to practice in full on Wednesday, according to reports. If he can't go in Week 7, Trubisky would get the start.

Steelers QB Kenny Pickett is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return.

Pickett took a hard hit from Devin White in the third quarter. Mitch Trubisky is back in as starter after starting the first four games of the season before being benched in favor of Pickett.

RB Saquon Barkley (shoulder) has no injury designation and is good to go.

You know the drill; Barkley is back to his old self and is a usage hog. Play him where you've got him.

Washington’s game status report for TNF vs Bears:

OUT
WR Jahan Dotson (hamstring)
S Percy Butler (quad)
RT Sam Cosmi (thumb)
TE Logan Thomas (calf)
RB Jonathan Williams (knee)
CB William Jackson (back)

Thomas is dealing with a calf injury and Dotson will miss another game with a hamstring injury. Cam Sims and Dyami Brown are next up, and it was Brown who caught two TDs in Week 5. Given Carson Wentz's up and down play, neither are great options. Curtis Samuel continues to lead the way for the Commanders in the receiving game. John Bates will take over at TE.

Brian Daboll says Daniel Jones (ankle) “came out good” after last week’s game.
Saquon Barkley (shoulder) will be out there practicing.

The tweet added Jones feels better today than he did last Wednesday, so that's great news for owners. The team expects Barkley to be limited with his shoulder issue. Looks like both players should be good to go for Week 6.

Giants RB Saquon Barkley is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Packers with a shoulder injury.

Update: Barkley is back in the game.

Barkley left the game late in the third quarter. He had 12 carries for 68 yards. The Giants have Gary Brightwell and Matt Breida behind him and Brightwell just scored a touchdown.

Mike Tomlin on QB position: He announces that Kenny Pickett will start vs. Bills

Pickett will have to face one of the tougher defenses in the Bills in Week 5, but should get plenty of chances to put up fantasy points beginning this week. Pickett stole two rushing touchdowns in the second half of last week's game but also threw three interceptions in that amount of time. There's definitely an increased upside to the Steeler offense going forward, but Pickett owners will likely take some lumps along the way as well.

Steelers QB Kenny Pickett started the second half against the Jets in place of Mitch Trubisky.

The Steelers offense once again once inept under Trubisky, going just 7/13 for 84 yards and an interception. It became just a matter of time until the Steelers turned to the rookie. Now is his opportunity.

Nick Sirianni on his level of concern about Miles Sanders’ hamstring injury:

“Not high.”

The Eagles coach said every player will have some level of participation in practice today.

Sanders was back at practice last week and looks to be good to go in a nice matchup against Detroit in Week 1. Sanders hasn't really taken off as the team's RB1 but should be in store for a decent volume against the Lions. Scott and Gainwell should also factor in. Sirianni said Gainwell will serve as the team's passing down back while Scott is Sanders' backup.
