After playing extensively his rookie year, Isaiahh Loudermilk couldn’t get a helmet for the first five weeks of the season. That’s going to change this weekend. Based off his comments to reporters and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ ugly injury report, Loudermilk will dress Sunday afternoon against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Loudermilk will replace DeMarvin Leal, surprisingly ruled out after suffering a knee injury on Friday. Loudermilk won’t be able to replicate Leal’s role as a rush-end player but he will occupy his helmet.
“I just knew I had to wait for my opportunity,” he told reporters via The Trib’s Chris Adamski.
