Dylan Cook got an opportunity to run with the Steelers’ first-team, but don’t read into it, HC Mike Tomlin warns. With Broderick Jones exiting practice due to a soft tissue injury, Cook stepped in at left tackle. The head coach, however, downplayed the significance of his ascension as meaning anything beyond that particular day and circumstance.
“We’re just acclimating”, Tomlin said of Cook assuming Jones’ snaps at left tackle, via the Steelers’ website. “Certainly, he’s a veteran guy that’s been around and has served in that capacity before. But I’m not assuming anything at this juncture at this early stage of development regarding specific roles and specialization”.
