Hop aboard the Pittsburgh Steelers inside linebacker carousel. Where it stops, nobody knows. For DC Teryl Austin, it’s a ride he hopes he can hop off. The inside linebacker room has been mangled by injuries this year, losing Cole Holcomb and Kwon Alexander for the season in back-to-back weeks. Most recently. Elandon Roberts has battled a groin injury, toughing things out in Thursday’s loss to the New England Patriots, incredibly playing (and playing well) on a short week.
In their place has been a rag-tag group of young names and veterans. Mark Robinson, Mykal Walker, Blake Martinez, and potentially Myles Jack, still on the team’s practice squad.
