How much concern should the Steelers have about Broderick Jones?
Broderick Jones came off the bench in the Steelers’ second game for the first time since entering the starting lineup during his rookie season. He didn’t even make it through a full series, playing 11 snaps before head coach Mike Tomlin benched him. In a span of six plays, he false started and committed two holding penalties, one of which negated a 51-yarder.
The Steelers apparently planned to rotate Jones in every third drive or so with Troy Fautanu. The latter, a rookie first-round pick making his first start and NFL debut, had to play the rest by himself.
