Tomlin Wants To See Young OLBs Adjust More On Special Teams, Playing In Space

The Pittsburgh Steelers will play their second preseason game of 2018 Thursday night against the Green Bay Packers and while outside linebacker Bud Dupree is currently scheduled to start and play in that contest not that he’s recovered from a concussion, the team’s starter on the other side from him, T.J. Watt, is likely to sit out again as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury he that he suffered early in training camp.

After Dupree and fellow outside linebacker Anthony Chickillo, who will likely start in place of Watt, both exit the Thursday night game against the Packers, we’re likely to see them relieved by young outside linebackers Keion Adams and Olasunkanmi Adeniyi, both of whom had seemingly good NFL debuts in the team’s first preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
