Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Wes Uhler of Steelers Nation Radio.

The Pittsburgh Steelers saw rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett suffer a hit that put him into the concussion protocol for the second time this season. Chris Carter and Wes Uhler talk about real concerns for Pickett and how the Steelers must protect him and help change his game moving forward so that Pickett doesn't continue to suffer concussion symptoms.

After that discussion it's grades times with Stars and Skulls. With the disappointing 16-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, there aren't too many stars to give out. But who had the most skulls? Some surprising names like Cam Heyward emerge after watching the film, but also some obvious poor grades for players like Mitch Trubisky and both the offensive and defensive lines. Who got the best and the worst?
