The Pittsburgh Steelers have an inside linebacker problem, and there is no easy solution. They lost Cole Holcomb for the season in Week Nine to a knee injury and Kwon Alexander in Week 10 to an Achilles injury.
Omar Khan went shopping in free agency for help at the position to revamp a group that saw Devin Bush, Myles Jack, and Robert Spillane depart the team in the offseason. That left second-year LB Mark Robinson as the only holdover from last season on the roster.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin talked about Robinson’s development during his Tuesday press conference via the team’s YouTube page.
