Pickett suffered a bone bruise in his knee during Sunday's 30-6 loss to the Texans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The report notes that Pickett's injury could lead to a short-term absence but adds that the door is open for the quarterback -- who also is dealing with a muscle strain -- to play this weekend against the Ravens. That said, with the Steelers on bye Week 6, the team could elect to err on the side of caution and hold Pickett out versus Baltimore. If that comes to fruition, Mitch Trubisky would start in his place Week 5.
