The Pittsburgh Steelers’ depth situation got a little bit precarious along the offensive line last year, both at guard and at tackle, due to injuries, one occurring in the preseason, and another during the regular season. having two key backups in the starting lineup will obviously be a major depth drain.
So it goes without saying that when the Steelers get Maurkice Pouncey back, it will do a lot of good for the offensive line depth along the interior. Rather than Cody Wallace starting at center and relying upon Chris Hubbard to be the fill-in at any position, Wallace can revert back to his usual role as the game day swing interior reserve for both guard positions and center.
