Source: Steelers’ Pickett (ankle) likely out a couple of weeks….

We’ll roll with Mitch if [Pickett] can’t play,” coach Mike Tomlin said immediately after the loss.

Pickett sustained the injury midway through the second quarter of the Pittsburgh Steelers‘ 24-10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals and did not return.

Trubisky took over in his absence and finished the game 11-of-17 for 117 yards and a touchdown. He also lost a fumble.

Earlier this season, Pickett was knocked out in the Week 8 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars with a ribs injury, but he returned four days later and played against the Tennessee Titans in the team’s first Thursday night game.

Since taking over the starting job early in his rookie season, Pickett hasn’t missed a start since Week 15 last season when he was out with a concussion. The Trubisky-led Steelers beat the Carolina Panthers 24-16 in Pickett’s absence.

Pickett was not the only Steeler to sustain a serious injury Sunday. Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, playing in his first game in a month, broke his left hand in the second quarter. Fitzpatrick’s hand was casted during the first of two lengthy severe weather delays, and he didn’t miss any snaps. He also said he expects to play Thursday.

“I couldn’t grab with it,” Fitzpatrick said. “But I was able to still play and didn’t miss any plays. … I think I did it making a tackle and then a few plays later, I tried to punch with it, and that’s when I really noticed it.

“… I’ll be fine. We’ll probably just wrap it up, clip it up like we did today and keep it moving.”
