PITTSBURGH — The idea to rotate first-team practice reps between Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph would appear to make practical sense, at least according to the way offensive coordinator Matt Canada explained it.
But it also has some potentially negative consequences that could pivot the offense back to what we saw earlier this season.
Because of the injury to Kenny Pickett, who is in concussion protocol, Canada said the Steelers wanted to get Rudolph as much work as possible in the event something happened to Trubisky against the Carolina Panthers — should Trubisky be the quarterback and not Pickett.
