‘I’m Not Sure He’s Ready To Be A Three-Down Guy:’ DC Teryl Austin Discusses Why ILB Mark Robinson Isn’t Next Man Up

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a problem at the inside linebacker position. After losing Cole Holcomb and Kwon Alexander for the season in back-to-back weeks against the Tennessee Titans and Green Bay Packers, the team was forced to rely on Elandon Roberts to play 100 percent of the snaps on defense. He suffered a groin injury in the first half of the loss to the Arizona Cardinals and could not return to play. It was eerily reminiscent of the injury to Cameron Heyward in Week One where he injured his groin and tried to return to play before realizing the injury was too much to play through.
