Pittsburgh Steelers second-year offensive lineman Chris Hubbard has gotten the breakdown treatment in each of the first three games thus far this preseason, but that has been so for good reason.
Hubbard, who spent 16 games on the 53-man roster in 2014 after a redshirt season on the practice squad the year before, would seemingly be in line to play a bigger role in the offense this year should injuries strike following Maurkice Pouncey’s lower leg fracture.
The Steelers did sign Doug Legursky, who figures to be the first man up, but as we saw last year, injuries can mount quickly, and Hubbard even had to log time last season, albeit briefly.
