Attrition has hit the Pittsburgh Steelers’ inside linebacker room hard this November. Shortly after the loss of Cole Holcomb on November 2, Kwon Alexander followed with a season-ending injury of his own that he suffered this past Sunday.
They put up a good front after Holcomb’s injury, reasoning that they had already been operating with three starters at the position including Elandon Roberts. All that it meant was that they would have to rely upon a more traditional rotation.
But what now, down two of your three starters? Roberts and Mark Robinson are the only linebackers on the roster.
