PITTSBURGH — The Steelers named Mitch Trubisky their starting quarterback Monday afternoon. Well, not officially. Apparently, that will come Tuesday when head coach Mike Tomlin holds his weekly news conference in advance of Sunday's season opener in Cincinnati.
But for all intents and purposes, Tomlin and the Steelers designated Trubisky as their starter when they announced him as one of the team's five captains.
"You can assume anything you want," Trubisky said with a sheepish smile after practice. "The announcement will come out when it has to come out, but you're not going to hear it from me. We're just going to go about our business."
