Kenny Pickett leaves Steelers' loss with knee injury

HOUSTON -- Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett left Sunday's 30-6 loss to the Houston Texans with a knee injury.

Pickett was sacked as he spun out of a collapsing pocket on a fourth-and-1 dropback from the 33 with 1:16 remaining in the third quarter.

Pickett tried to elude the Texans' pressure, spinning away from it but into defensive end Jonathan Greenard, who came around the outside of rookie left tackle Broderick Jones.

Greenard wrapped Pickett up and spun him around. Pickett clutched his left knee after the sack, rocking on the ground until Steelers medical personnel got to him.
