When Pittsburgh Steelers inside linebacker Vince Williams suffered an injury late in the team’s loss on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens, he was replaced by veteran L.J. Fort. He ended up playing only about a dozen snaps, but he played well.
Many have been wondering why he hasn’t been the next man up, especially last season after Ryan Shazier’s injury. I still don’t have a good answer. As of now, it still doesn’t sound like he will be, as Tyler Matakevich and Matthew Thomas took first-team reps in practice yesterday.
