With LBs Cole Holcomb and Kwon Alexander now out for the season, the inside linebacker position is looking pretty slim compared to the room that Pittsburgh had a couple weeks ago. The Steelers had the benefit of running a three-man rotation at off-ball linebacker with Holcomb, Alexander, and Elandon Roberts splitting the reps, each doing his part in different situations with varying skill sets to improve the play at a position that Pittsburgh had struggled with for the last several years. The room had been playing well, but saw Holcomb go down with a serious knee injury and Alexander lost for the season with a reported Achilles injury.
