Avery Williamson technically made his debut for the Pittsburgh Steelers this past week, in the sense that he dressed for the game, even though he did not play. That is in spite of the fact that he did not get the opportunity to get on the practice field with the team during the week of practice due to the Covid-19 protocols after he was acquired via trade.
This week, starting inside linebacker Vince Williams is out of practice due to the protocols after being deemed a high-risk close contact of Vance McDonald, who tested positive from a Covid-19 test taken before Sunday’s game.
