What Tests Kenny Pickett Must Pass To Take QB1 From Mitch Trubisky in Steelers' Final Preseason Game

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers have one final preseason game against the Detroit Lions, and that's where Kenny Pickett will get to make his last case to be the Steelers' QB1. But is Pickett at starting quarterback the best plan or even realistic with Mitch Trubisky as the starter? What Pickett has to do involves a larger sample size of plays, and an example of deep balls to stretch the field against NFL competition. Also, the Steelers cut Genard Avery along with Chris Oladokun Tuesday. Does that mean Omar Khan needs to go after a new backup edge rusher/outside linebacker behind T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith?
