Steelers’ Kenny Pickett: Rumors of Substance Abuse, implication on next match.
Subheadline: Veteran QB Mitch Trubisky to Start Sunday Against Ravens
In a shocking turn of events, the Pittsburgh Steelers have announced that starting quarterback Kenny Pickett has been benched. The team cited “personal reasons” for the decision, but sources close to the team whisper about potential substance abuse issues.
Head Coach Mike Tomlin remained tight-lipped during the press conference, stating only that Pickett’s health and well-being are the team’s top priority. However, the move comes after weeks of speculation about Pickett’s erratic behavior and declining performance on the field.
Veteran quarterback Mitch Trubisky will take over under center for Sunday’s crucial AFC North matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Trubisky, who started the season as the starter before being replaced by Pickett, expressed his support for his teammate while acknowledging the gravity of the situation.
This news has sent shockwaves through the Steelers organization and the NFL at large. Fans are left to wonder about the future of the young franchise quarterback and the team’s playoff hopes.
