The Pittsburgh Steelers just took a big hit along their offensive line heading down the stretch of the regular season.
According to Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, starting offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert has been suspended for the next four games due to a PED violation. He will not be appealing the suspension.
Steelers OT Marcus Gilbert suspended 4 games for violating NFL’s policy on performance enhancing substances. 4th Steeler in 3 years suspended multiple games: Bryant all of ’16, Bell 3 in ’16, 2 in ’15.

This is a big loss for Pittsburgh, as Gilbert has consistently been one of their best offensive linemen ever since he signed a five-year, $30 million extension in 2014.
