Steelers’ Kenny Pickett Suffers Apparent Knee Injury, Ruled Out for Game

Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett was involved in a concerning sequence during the third quarter of the team’s Week 4 matchup with the Texans. On 4th and 1, Pickett attempted to evade pressure and was instead wrapped up and brought down, immediately grabbing for his knee.

Multiple additional angles of the video, and still shots of both the play and Pickett came to light shortly after, and it was apparent the quarterback was in pain.

As seen in the video below at the very end, Pickett went down and appeared to quickly reach for his knee area.

Here’s another angle on the play and injury to Pickett below, which again points to the concern of a potential knee injury.

Pickett remained down and the photo below shows the viewpoint of trainers on the field with the Pittsburgh quarterback.

In an update shortly after, Pickett was ruled out for the remainder of game with a knee injury, as ESPN’s Brooke Pryor reported.

Prior to the injury, Pickett had completed 15-of-23 passes for 114 yards and one interception.
