Saturday update:
Quarterback Kenny Pickett has been downgraded from doubtful to out for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Also, linebacker Myles Jack has been upgraded from doubtful to questionable.
Friday injury report:
The Steelers wrapped up their preparation at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex for this week's game against the Carolina Panthers, working inside for the second straight day.
Quarterback Kenny Pickett, who is in the concussion protocol, was limited once again in practice and is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game.
"(Kenny) was a partial participant for most of the week," said Coach Mike Tomlin. "Just procedural things regarding the protocol he is in. We'll get some clarity on that and other things tomorrow and we'll make statements on who's playing and who's not and the depth at that time. I listed him as doubtful. I think that is appropriate as we sit here today. He is listed as doubtful and I think that describes the position he is in.
"We got some clarity about where we are going, it's just there's no need to land the plane until it's required to land the plane."
No starter has been named yet for Sunday's game, with everything still on the table with Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph in the running with Pickett listed as doubtful.
"I like the work that we've gotten from Mitch and Mason this week," said Tomlin. "Both guys have split reps and seen enough situations and not just what they've done this week, but the totality of what they've done makes us extremely comfortable in terms of considering both guys. And so, we're comfortable."
