Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett was officially been ruled out of the game against the Houston Texans. Pickett suffered an apparent leg injury after getting sacked on a fourth-down attempt and was helped by trainers off of the field, putting little to no pressure on his left leg.

Kenny Pickett Injury Speculation
The Steelers took the horrific loss in their week four matchup against the Texans by a score of 30-6. However, all of the focus after the game will be on the Pittsburgh quarterback, after leaving the game with a left leg injury that does not look good at all.
The hope is that it’s not anything serious, but by the looks of it, Pickett looks like he could miss significant time this season. There have been several season-ending injuries this season, including the Achilles injury with Aaron Rodgers. By the looks of the injury to Kenny Pickett, it looks to possibly be an ACL or MCL injury, which would sideline him for the rest of the 2023 season.
The young quarterback has recorded 689 passing yards and four touchdowns so far this season. He has led his team to a 2-1 record in games that he has finished, and if his injury is serious, it can jeopardize the rest of the season for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
This is an ongoing issue and will be updated throughout the day and probably the week. We will make sure to keep everyone updated on this unfortunate situation as it continues to unfold.
