Last year, the Pittsburgh Steelers enjoyed the three-prong inside linebacker attack of Cole Holcomb, Elandon Roberts, and Kwon Alexander. At least, until the room fell apart. Holcomb suffered a devastating knee injury he hasn’t fully recovered from, Alexander tore his Achilles and remains a free agent, leaving Roberts to hold down the fort as he gritted out injuries of his own. Determined to build the room back up, Pittsburgh will have a similar three-man attack at the position in 2024.
It won’t function the exact same way. Last season, all three players rotated in and out of the lineup.
