Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin frequently talks at this time of the year about how there often isn’t a need to create opportunities for players, as the nature of attrition of training camp and the preseason schedule provides them all on its own.
That was the case last night for rookie outside linebacker Tuzar Skipper, originally signed after participating in the Steelers’ rookie minicamp as an invitational player. His signing corresponded with the release of Keion Adams, a 2017 seventh-round draft pick.
Three outside linebackers are currently, if not permanently, out of the picture, however.
