The last time Pittsburgh Steelers’ inside linebacker Devin Bush faced off against the Cleveland Browns, the third-year linebacker was leaving the feel under the help of some trainers after tearing his ACL, knocking him out of the Week 6 contest in 2020, causing him to miss the rest of the season as well.
Knowing that, there’s some extra added motivation and some anticipation for Bush, who is now a full year recovered from the injury and is trying to find some consistency in his game once again.
With Bush back in the fold against the Browns’ physical offense, the Steelers should be able to remain in base defense a bit more than usual, thanks to the athleticism and coverage abilities of Bush and Joe Schobert inside, meaning that the Steelers would feel comfortable with Schobert or Bush needing to handle some coverage duties out of the slot or on on tight ends while still being able to defend the run.
