With Elandon Roberts dealing with a pectoral injury, the Pittsburgh Steelers added another veteran inside linebacker in Jaylon Smith earlier this week. Smith was a Pro Bowler in 2019 and has been a consistent contributor in the league after an impressive college career at Notre Dame. Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin said Smith has been picking things up well but that the Steelers want to see how he stacks up on the field against the rest of their veteran linebackers.
“You know, we’ll see. Like we brought the other veterans in, I think the biggest thing is trying to get him up to speed as fast as possible.
