PITTSBURGH — Coaches like to remind everyone not to read too much into which players are practicing with which units or what rotations are being used this time of year. After all, it is just spring practice, with no pads, no contact and, if all is to be believed, no final evaluations.
The same is true at quarterback, which, for the first time in 18 years, has no established starter. There is much to judge and consider to determine which of the three candidates — Mitch Trubisky, Mason Rudolph or rookie No. 1 Kenny Pickett — will open the regular season as Ben Roethlisberger's replacement.
But after two weeks of offseason training activities (OTAs) and three days of a mandatory minicamp that ends Thursday, all signs appear to point to Trubisky being the starter when the Steelers open their season Sept. 11 in Cincinnati.
