The Pittsburgh Steelers were recently dealt their first major season-ending injury, losing starting ILB Cole Holcomb to a serious knee injury a week ago against the Tennessee Titans.
The good news is that the team was already operating with a three-man rotation at the inside linebacker position, so as head coach Mike Tomlin said on Tuesday, that simply means they will have to rely on a more “traditional” rotation with Kwon Alexander and Elandon Roberts shouldering the load.
The trio were all signed as experienced veteran free agents this offseason as new members of the organization.
