Key individuals are rarely ever replaced with just one man assuming the tasks that they were responsible for. It’s generally a platoon of individuals making up the difference. And that’s even truer when you lose two key figures, as the Pittsburgh Steelers have at the inside linebacker position recently with season-ending injuries to Cole Holcomb and Kwon Alexander.
It’s no wonder, then, that they have been casting a wide net in looking for reinforcements. While Mykal Walker was added to the practice squad a week prior to the first of the two major injuries, they’ve since signed Myles Jack to the practice squad, and added Blake Martinez to the 53-man roster.
