Roosevelt Nix will miss at least another week with a knee injury and with how quickly Mike Tomlin has been ruling him out, doesn’t appear likely to return anytime soon. While that leaves a bigger hole on special teams and the coverage unit, an area that struggled Sunday against the 49ers, it also has created an opening at fullback. And so far, the Steelers haven’t found anyone to replace him.
“We have some other ways at our disposal to level the playing field and create opportunities for ourselves there,” Tomlin said during his Tuesday press conference.
