Kenny Pickett - Ticketed for backup rolePickett (ankle) will likely serve as the backup quarterback in Saturday's game against the Ravens, according to Chris Adamski of TribLive.com.
ImpactPickett is on track to suit up Saturday for the first time since Week 13, but even if he does he will not start, as head coach Mike Tomline revealed that Mason Rudolph will be under center for a third straight contest.

NFL Stock Watch: Ravens clearly league's top team; Rams look like playoff threat
The Ravens' demolishing of the Dolphins left not doubt of which team is tops in NFL supremacy. Here's who else is trending up and down after...JANUARY 1
Tyler Lockett - Disappears in lossLockett recorded one reception on five targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Steelers.
ImpactThe Seahawks ran only 49 offensive plays, which limited the volume of many of their skill-position players. That was the case for Lockett, who has seen five or fewer targets in only four games this season. The performance was a continuation of his uneven production this season, as he has been held under 25 yards in two of his last four games, but he's topped 80 in the other two contests.
