Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett suffered an injury just before halftime in the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The quarterback took a huge hit to his right side and he immediately went off of the field in a lot of pain. He looked to be holding on to his ribs which is not a good sign for Steelers fans. Backup Mitchell Trubisky is now in at quarterback for Pittsburgh.
