With the news that the Pittsburgh Steelers have placed Vince Williams on the Reserve/Covid-19 List, it is unclear how many inside linebackers the team will even have available to suit up and take the field on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, with Robert Spillane also expected to miss the game due to injury.
The team has Marcus Allen on the roster, but he hasn’t really played a traditional linebacker role before. Ulysees Gilbert III, currently on the Reserve/Injured List, has begun practicing, but that does not mean he will be activated this week. They also have Tegray Scales, who was in training camp last year, and Christian Kuntz, who is also a long snapper, on the practice squad.
