Steelers' Quarterback Kenny Pickett to Play Against Titans Despite Rib Injury

Pickett plans to participate in Wednesday's walkthrough, stating he felt good after Tuesday's light practice, and will use his usual protective vest in the upcoming game to manage potential pain and impact on his performance.

Steelers' quarterback Kenny Pickett confirms he will start in the upcoming game against the Tennessee Titans despite an injuring to his ribs during a recent loss against Jacksonville Jaguars.
Pickett's injury was evaluated as non-structural, but Coach Mike Tomlin has indicated that his ability to perform effectively during Wednesday's practice would be crucial to his approval for game participation.
The injury affects Pickett's throwing mechanics, particularly his torque and rotation, which he recognizes as a significant factor in his performance.
Pickett has a history of persevering through injuries, as observed in a past game against the Ravens where he led the Steelers to victory despite a knee injury.
Despite criticisms about poor offensive performance from the Steelers, Pickett asserts that the issue is not with the game plan but with the execution, emphasizing the need for improved consistency.
