PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers aren't closing the door on their quarterback competition just yet, as they'll head into their final day of prep without making a decision on the starter for Week 15. 

Head coach Mike Tomlin said Kenny Pickett is listed as doubtful for the game, emphasizing how little optimism he has for the rookie to be cleared and play against the Carolina Panthers. He was limited in practice throughout the week and will need to meet with an independent neurologist before being cleared. 

Meanwhile, Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph will continue to wait for the announcement on a starter. The two vets split reps throughout the week while competing for the spot start. 

"Both guys have split reps, and have seen enough," Tomlin said. "Not just this week, but the totality in what they've done makes us extremely comfortable in terms of considering both guys."
