Head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Pickett (ankle) is "in the same position" with his injury as last week, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Tomlin stopped short of guaranteeing that Mason Rudolph will make a second straight start, but the Steelers appear set to go with Rudolph again while Pickett's health remains something of a question mark. After missing the previous two games while recovering from right ankle surgery, Pickett was cleared to resume individual work last week but didn't make enough progress to attain active status. Tomlin noted that the Steelers will see where Pickett is at from a mobility standpoint by the end of the practice week before determining his status or role for Sunday's game. Even if Pickett isn't able to mix into drills with the first-team offense this week, it's possible that he could still be active as Rudolph's backup over Mitch Trubisky if the Steelers feel comfortable with Pickett's ability to move around the pocket.
