Tomlin Non-Committal On Gilbert Possibly Continuing As Kickoff Returner

In the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Divisional Round playoff win over the Kansas City Chiefs we were once again treated to seeing cornerback Justin Gilbert being used deep as a kickoff returner alongside wide receiver Sammie Coates as running back Fitzgerald Toussaint missed the contest due to a concussion.

During his Tuesday press conference, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was asked how he thought Gilbert performed in Sunday’s game as a returner and if he’ll continue in that roll in the upcoming AFC Championship game against the New England Patriots.
