Pittsburgh Steelers first-round pick Broderick Jones made his first NFL start at right tackle in Week Nine for the Pittsburgh Steelers in their win over the Tennessee Titans. While Jones was expected to be the team’s long-term answer at left tackle, the opportunity to play on the right side presented itself after Chukwuma Okorafor was benched for comments he made at the end of the team’s Week Eight loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jones performed well, and he could take over as the team’s starter going forward at the position, and offensive coordinator Matt Canada praised Jones’ readiness to be able to switch over to the right side in his press conference today.
