‘He Played Huge For Us’: Patrick Peterson Appreciative Of Myles Jack Stepping Up Against Bengals

Once again, the Pittsburgh Steelers were decimated by injury at the inside linebacker position in-game.

Early in the second quarter, veteran linebacker Elandon Roberts went down with a pectoral injury on a tackle, knocking him out of the lineup.

Already perilously thin at the position after losing Kwon Alexander and Cole Holcomb to season-ending injuries earlier in the season, the Steelers had to again adjust on the fly, this time calling on familiar face Myles Jack.

One month ago, Jack was retired. Then he joined the Steelers’ practice squad and worked his way into game shape.
