It appears as though the Steelers are set to roll with what they at inside linebacker which could prove disastrous if no one can adequately replace Bush

Devin Bush tearing his ACL was an unfortunate injury for the Steelers and one that will likely cause a few concerns on defense going forward. While the Steelers have quite a few options on their bench, it seems like a hole that could be best filled with an outside option. Now, this doesn’t mean forcing an outside option into a starting role like what the Steelers did with Sean Spence a few years ago.
