Steelers Backup QB Situation Unclear Heading Into Sunday

If Ben Roethlisberger is able to return this week, there’s no problem.

If he can’t, uh, Houston? You know the drill.

As implausible as it would have been to type out even a month ago, Landry Jones is likely to be the Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting QB Sunday afternoon against the Kansas City Chiefs. Mike Tomlin left the door open in his press game press conference, but it’d be baffling to see him choose Mike Vick over Jones based on their body of work.

If Vick is deemed healthy enough to play, he’ll be the #2 – in jersey and depth chart.
