In Week 2 last season, Broderick Jones started a game on the bench for the first time since starting in Week 9 in 2023. With Dan Moore Jr. still at left tackle and Troy Fautanu back, the Steelers wanted to make a change. He admitted at the time that he wasn’t entirely comfortable with it, and a year later, that’s still true.
“They tried to make me the swing tackle”, Jones told reporters last week, via Mike DeFabo. “It was kind of funky. I knew I’ll be going back to left, so this offseason, I just tried to focus on nothing but the left side”.
