Avery Williamson Confident In ILB Position, ‘Whoever’s In There Beside Me’

The Pittsburgh Steelers will not have even one single inside linebacker available to them in tomorrow’s game who was both on the initial 53-man roster and was actually a linebacker before the start of this season. Devin Bush has long been lost for the year due to a torn ACL, and now Vince Williams is missing the game after evidently testing positive for Covid-19.

Meanwhile, Bush’s replacement, Robert Spillane, will be sidelined for a bit after suffering a knee injury of his own. Ulysees Gilbert III has already spent most of the season on the Reserve/Injured List due to a back injury, though he appears to finally be on the mend.
