Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Howard Jones is looking to make the final 53 man roster this season after spending his entire rookie year on the team’s practice squad. On Wednesday the undrafted Shepherd product was given the opportunity to work with the second-team defense as veteran linebacker James Harrison missed the fifth OTA practice of the offseason for an undisclosed reason, according to Jacob Klinger of pennlive.com.
Jones reportedly told the media Wednesday that he feels like he’s playing quicker now that he has a full year under his belt and that he knows he’s improved.
