PITTSBURGH — The strange midweek quarterback competition at Steelers headquarters this week might not be a competition after all. Offensive coordinator Matt Canada might have tipped the hand of the coaching staff when he met with reporters Thursday morning.
Canada was asked why Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph were sharing first-team reps in practice with starter Kenny Pickett in concussion protocol.
“I think part of that is we're making sure we're in a situation that everybody's ready to play,” Canada said. “We’ve had two quarterbacks playing all year and Mason’s been a third that hasn't had a lot of reps at all.
