Not only is Gilbert serving a four-game suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy, but now he’s looking at losing a major chunk of change as well. According to Chris Adamaski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, the Steelers tackle is now looking at a $9,115 fine for a facemask interaction during the first half of Pittsburgh’s game Thursday against the Titans.
Gilbert is already looking at nearly $1 million in lost pay this season due to the suspension. For someone who was having a very promising season, Gilbert has hit a major roadblock he’ll need to overcome both financially and playing wise.
