PITTSBURGH — Mike Tomlin confirmed that Mitch Trubisky will return as the team’s backup quarterback for the 2023 season at the NFL Annual Meeting on Sunday.

Meeting with Pittsburgh-area reporters on the first day of the meetings, Tomlin echoed the comments that general manager Omar Khan gave before the NFL combine that Trubisky appears entrenched as the team’s backup quarterback.

Trubisky was signed in 2022 with the intention of him starting, but he was supplanted by rookie Kenny Pickett after just three and a half games.

Pickett and Trubisky also seem to have a positive working relationship.
