Kenny Pickett feeling 'good,' practicing with knee injury ahead of Steelers-Ravens showdown: 'I'll be ready to go'
Kenny Pickett doesn't expect to miss any more time with the bone bruise in his left knee.
The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback practiced with a brace on his knee Wednesday and told reporters that he's planning to play this week against the Baltimore Ravens.
"I’ll be ready to go by Sunday," Pickett told reporters.
Pickett added that he's feeling "good, good" and that he doesn't know if he'll wear the brace during the game.
Pickett injured his knee on a sack in the third quarter of Sunday's 30-6 loss to the Houston Texans. He had trouble putting weight on his injured leg, prompting concerns that the injury was more serious. Mitchell Trubisky finished the game in his absence.
Pickett has struggled to move the Steelers offense in his second NFL season. Through the first four weeks of the season, he's completed 60.6% of his passes for 200.8 yards per game with four touchdowns and four interceptions. The Steelers rank 29th in the NFL in yards (263) and 25th in points (15.5) per game.
They're tied in second place in the AFC North with the Cleveland Browns at 2-2. They have a chance to take control of the division Sunday against the 3-1 Ravens.
