Elandon Roberts: Steelers Have ‘Full Confidence’ In Markus Golden, Nick Herbig Without T.J. Watt

Losing star outside linebacker T.J. Watt is a massive blow for the Pittsburgh Steelers entering the Wild Card matchup against the Buffalo Bills Sunday at 1 p.m. inside Highmark Stadium.

Without Watt, the Steelers are just 1-10 all-time.

This time, though, the Steelers have good, consistent depth, which has the team feeling quite confident even without the services of the potential Defensive Player of the Year in Watt.

That includes the combination of veteran Markus Golden and rookie Nick Herbig at outside linebacker to replace Watt, at least for one week.

Those two have the full backing of their teammates, especially inside linebacker Elandon Roberts.
