Mitch Trubisky is Pittsburgh's QB1

It's what we've all been waiting for. While there has been no formal announcement from the team, quarterback Mitchell Trubisky is listed as the No. 1 QB on the Pittsburgh Steelers' depth chart to start Week One.

While Steelers’ HC Mike Tomlin still hasn't made any official announcement, Mitch Trubisky is listed first at quarterback on the team’s depth chart that was released today for Pittsburgh’s regular-season opener vs. the Bengals.

The starting role was always Trubisky's to lose since Pittsburgh signed him to a two-year, $14.58 million contract this offseason. But, while Trubisky took most of the first-string reps this summer during training camp, it was suspected perhaps rookie (and only first-round QB selected in this year's draft) Kenny Pickett could overtake the role. Instead, Pickett is listed as No. 3 on the Steelers' first depth chart, behind Mason Rudolph, for some reason.

How long will the depth chart stay this way? It's a fair question. Head coach Mike Tomlin could announce otherwise before the Steelers' first game on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. If Trubisky struggles during the season, do they throw the keys to the rookie? I think Pickett will start a game this season before Rudolph, should they reach that point. But for now, it's wait and see.

• The Dallas Cowboys have reached a one-year deal with left tackle Jason Peters. As a result, Peters will begin on the practice squad and eventually move onto the 53-man roster. This signing is more of an insurance move since Peters is 40. But as the saying goes, you can never have too many offensive linemen.
  

I'm told the #Cowboys and OT Jason Peters have a working agreement on a 1-year deal. Peters is expected to start out on the practice Squad at this time, per league source. Will be on the wire today.

• New York Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka will call the plays in Week One. The good news? Kafka previously worked with the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes. The bad news? Daniel Jones is not Mahomes. So if head coach Brian Daboll and Kafka cannot get more out of Jones this year, it could be Backup City for him after 2022.

• Could we see Zach Wilson in Week 1? God, I hope not. New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh spoke today with reporters and mentioned that Wilson went through a workout on Monday, will re-evaluate how he's doing on Tuesday, and decide on Wednesday. I don't know about you all, but I am nervous. 
  

Zach Wilson has a chance, but in my opinion, considering they want for him to be 100%, and the fact he hasn’t practiced, I’d be a little surprised if he went #Jets

• On Monday, Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson told reporters that running back James Robinson should be available to play in Week 1. Robinson suffered a torn Achilles late last season, was still able to avoid the PUP list and has been taking starting reps during training camp. With quarterback Trevor Lawrence due for an improved season, and fellow RB Travis Etienne back, the Jags' offense should have all the tools to be Not Your Average Jaguars in 2022.
