Head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed after the Pittsburgh Steelers’ victory today that second-year inside linebacker Devin Bush suffered a significant knee injury. Though precise details are yet to be determined, it is believed that he suffered a torn ACL and will likely be finished for the season.
The next man up, in the game today and in replacing him for the time being, is Robert Spillane, the second-year linebacker who carved out a role for himself on special teams in the second half of the 2019 season. He has been dressing all season as the number three linebacker as a former undrafted free agent, and he made some plays during his time on the field today.
