Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett is taking extra precautions as he returns from the concussion protocol for a second time this season.

Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett's status for Pittsburgh's visit to Carolina is uncertain after entering the concussion protocol for the second time in two months.

Pickett was shaken up after getting sacked by Baltimore linebacker Roquan Smith at the end of Pittsburgh's first drive. “I don't know about the sequence or the details regarding the sequence,” Tomlin said after the game. Trubisky warmed up briefly while Pickett spent time in the blue medical tent and then checked on his teammate before Pickett went out for Pittsburgh's second drive. “He said he was feeling fine, and that was that.”This is the second time this season Pickett has been placed in the protocol. Baltimore quarterback Tyler Huntley, filling in for injured starter Lamar Jackson, also went into the concussion protocol in the second half and did not return.

PITTSBURGH — (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett entered the concussion protocol in the first half against Baltimore on Sunday and will not return. Pickett was evaluated in the blue medical tent for several minutes before returning for Pittsburgh's next series, with the team saying Pickett has been cleared. Pickett played one series before exiting again, this time for the rest of the game, with the team saying he was in the concussion protocol. This is the second time this season Pickett has been placed in the protocol. He missed the second half of a victory over Tampa Bay on Oct. 16.

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said he didn’t know “the details regarding the sequence” that led to rookie quarterback Kenny Picket initially being cleared to play before being put into concussion protocol during a 16-14 loss to Baltimore.

Week 9 of the NFL season concludes Monday when the Baltimore Ravens travel to take on the New Orleans Saints. Here are the top plays!

Neither Lamar Jackson nor Roquan Smith has an agent. Both are looking for market-setting contracts this offseason, leaving the Ravens in a fascinating position.

The Bears traded away two defensive stars, but landed a young receiver. Peter Schrager explains GM Ryan Poles' strategy at the deadline.

The NFL trade deadline turned into a frenzy with 15 teams making 10 deals involving 12 players and several draft picks.

The best way to break down something like the 2022 NFL trade deadline is immediately after the trades happen. It's best to have strong, infallible takes in the moment, so let's go over some surefire winners and losers from the NFL trade deadline now that all of the trades have been finalized. This move signals that reinforcements are coming for Fields, he just needs to make it to the end of the season. Sending him to the Jaguars, with a boatload of stipulations on future picks, is ultimately a good move for this team. Smith will get a contract extension barring something unforeseen happening and projects nicely into what the Ravens like to do on defense.

The Bears have traded star LB Roquan Smith to the Ravens for 2023 second- and fifth-round picks.

— (AP) — The Chicago Bears agreed to trade linebacker Roquan Smith to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday, according to a person with knowledge of the deal. It's the Bears' second major trade involving a defensive player in less than a week. Smith was at the dais addressing reporters when reports of the Quinn trade surfaced. On Monday, Ravens coach John Harbaugh held his usual weekly news conference — shortly before the news of the Smith trade broke. Ravens linebacker Justin Houston already has six sacks on the season.

Chicago Bears linebacker Roquan Smith is reportedly heading to the Baltimore Ravens for two draft picks, as the former eighth overall pick looks to bolster their defense.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — (AP) — The undefeated Philadelphia Eagles acquired three-time Pro Bowl defensive end Robert Quinn from the Chicago Bears on Wednesday. “I think it's another great player on this team,” Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts said. “I know the Eagles are really fortunate to have him,” Bears general manager Ryan Poles said. With Quinn, an Eagles defensive line that already has Haason Reddick, Josh Sweat, Javon Hargrave, Fletcher Cox, Brandon Graham and Jordan Davis becomes that much more daunting. When it comes to sacks, they're tied for 10th with 17.

Roquan Smith is a centerpiece of the Bears defense, but he'll be without teammate Robert Quinn, traded to the Eagles, for the rest of the year.

The undefeated Philadelphia Eagles have bolstered their defense prior to the NFL trade deadline, adding Chicago Bears veteran pass rusher Robert Quinn.

The Philadelphia Eagles surprised many with their trade for Chicago Bears pass-rusher Robert Quinn on Wednesday, but few were hit as hard as Quinn's teammate Roquan Smith. After being asked for his opinion on Quinn's three-year tenure in Chicago, Smith struggled for words before requesting a moment to gather his thoughts. Roquan Smith learned of the Robert Quinn trade while speaking to the media. Smith, a former first-round pick, and Quinn have been teammates since the Bears signed Quinn to a five-year, $70 million contract in the 2020 offseason. It's also quite likely Smith could be confronting the fact that a trade may be in his own immediate future.

Chicago Bears defensive tackle Mike Pennel Jr. was ejected on Monday for an illegal blindside block against the New England Patriots. It was tipped at the line of scrimmage and intercepted by Bears linebacker Roquan Smith. As Smith returned the interception, Pennel leveled Patriots center David Andrews with a blindside block. But Pennel was indeed ejected and left the field without incident. Andrews, meanwhile, was left woozy after the hit and needed help off the field.

Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz is back in the news this week. Now multiple Saturday reports confirm that Wentz sustained a fractured ring finger on his throwing hand specifically. #Commanders QB Carson Wentz suffered a fractured finger on his throwing hand in the team’s win over the #Bears, per me and @MikeGarafolo. Wentz has a lot going on in WashingtonThis is another of many headlines for Wentz this week. After Thursday's win, Rivera was frustrated about negative Commanders media coverage and denied the ESPN report that Commanders owner Daniel Snyder, not Rivera, had pushed to acquire Wentz last offseason.

Roquan Smith's interception led to a Chicago Bears game-winning drive that ended with a Cairo Santos kick. Chicago defeated the Houston Texans 23-20.
