With the Pittsburgh Steelers a bit banged up on both sides of the ball, a couple of players got a helmet on Thursday night that normally wouldn’t, the most notable among them being second-year offensive lineman Chris Hubbard, serving technically as the eighth lineman, but actually seeing playing time as a tackle-eligible to the tune of 11 snaps.
While there was nothing spectacularly good or bad in those 11 snaps, however, there was enough to give an evaluation, and it is at least worth noting that they chose to use Hubbard in this role over Alejandro Villanueva, who saw one snap during the game—at wide receiver.
