Kenny Pickett is expected to miss two-to-four weeks, as he’s set to have a surgical procedure on his injured ankle on Monday, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Pickett suffered the injury during the Steelers’ 24-10 loss to the Cardinals.

Pittsburgh’s next four games are against the Patriots on “Thursday Night Football,” at the Colts, home against the Bengals and at the Seahawks.

Pickett left Sunday’s game after getting hit on a running play late in the first half. Pickett walked off the field under his own power after getting evaluated by the team’s medical staff; however, he did not return to the game after injuring his ankle. Pickett had been experiencing ankle discomfort following last week’s win over the Bengals that saw him go 24 of 33 passing for 278 yards in what was his best game of the season so far.
