Chickillo’s Legal Trouble Hurts Already Thin OLB Corps

With Anthony Chickillo’s status for Monday night’s game uncertain due to his legal issues, the Pittsburgh Steelers find their depth at outside linebacker to be even worse now. In case you missed it, Chickillo was arraigned on two misdemeanors (simple assault and criminal mischief) as well as harassment on Sunday. This reportedly took place at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Fayette County between Chickillo and his girlfriend. I’m not going to get into the particulars but you can read them here.

Chickillo has been told not to report to the Steelers’ facility.

Steelers OLB Anthony Chickillo has been instructed to not report to the team's practice facility today because of his arrest over the weekend at Nemacolin Woodlands resort, per Steelers spokesman @SteelersPRBurt Burt Lauten.
