Zach Banner may be healthy enough to play this weekend. But that doesn’t mean he’ll hop back into the Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting lineup. Head offensive line coach Adrian Klemm spoke with the media Friday and said Banner’s spot will need to be earned, not given.
“Last year Zach won a starting a position,” Klemm told reporters via audio provided by the team. “Chuks came in when Zach got injured. Even though he started the whole year, he had to earn the start too. So he worked his way into the right tackle position. And now Zach is back and it’s his job to fight to get it back.
