A little over a month ago, ILB Myles Jack was happily retired from the game of football, working on his pilot’s license while He purchasing the Allen Americans of the East Coast Hockey League, a minor league club that is an affiliate of the Ottawa Senators in the NHL. He had finished playing with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2022 in disappointing fashion, seeing his body break down in the second half of the season as his impact and role on the defense diminished immensely.
However, fate has a crazy way of making things work out sometimes. In the case of Jack, Pittsburgh would call him up after getting decemated at the inside linebacker with injuries, losing ILBs Cole Holcomb and Kwon Alexander for the season while having ILB Elandon Roberts dealing with a groin injury.
