It had been a rough preseason for Steelers second-year guard Kevin Dotson. First, his conditioning was called into question in a report following mandatory minicamp. Next, he had an ankle injury the first day of training camp which kept him out of action until recently. On top of that, when Dotson did return it was highly scrutinized that he was not instantly put on the starting offensive line.
Despite all these things, Kevin Dotson continued to work his way back and saw his first action of the 2021 preseason Thursday night against the Philadelphia Eagles.
