As of this writing, Pittsburgh Steelers right tackle Marcus Gilbert has now assured that he will have missed at least half of the regular season in each of the past two years. Yesterday’s game was the eighth that he has missed in 2018, and the seventh in a row, with no guarantee that his return to the lineup is imminent.
Gilbert has been out with a knee injury since the bye week, and he has not practice since the building to the Week Nine Thursday Night game against the Carolina Panthers. He was a full participant on the first day of practice but slipped to limited the following day, and he has not suited up for a practice since then.
