The Pittsburgh Steelers are currently hurting at inside linebacker, having lost both Cole Holcomb and Kwon Alexander in consecutive weeks to season-ending injuries. They still have veteran LB Elandon Roberts in tow who figures to continue to lead the group going forward as well as second-year LB Mark Robinson who will be thrust into a larger role, but Pittsburgh needs to have other bodies in the room readily available to step in and play should either Roberts or Robinson go down to injury as well as rotate in on passing downs.
One of their in-house options is LB Mykal Walker who the team signed to the practice squad just a couple of weeks ago after getting his walking papers from the Atlanta Falcons in training camp.
