Tar Heels in NFL: Trubisky relieves Pickett as Steelers upset Bucs; Carter’s Jets role reduced

Posted Oct 16, 2022
Mitch Trubisky has been playing on Pittsburgh’s scout team the last two weeks and not getting live reps in practice, but that didn’t seem to matter Sunday when Kenny Pickett left the game in the third quarter with a concussion. Trubisky looked more aggressive and confident in helping the Steelers hold on for a 20-18 upset of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. (Tar Heel Tribune)
