It’s still early, but, while the Pittsburgh Steelers are fortunate to have advanced to the playoffs, they are facing the very real possibility of entering the postseason wounded severely at the tailback position, losing their acting starting running back in the regular season finale.
Last year, Le’Veon Bell suffered a knee injury in the final game and was unable to play during the playoffs. The Steelers had already released LeGarrette Blount earlier in the year, who was seen as his complementary back, and thus were left with just Dri Archer, Josh Harris, and the journeyman free agent they just signed, Ben Tate.
