Heitritter: Broderick Jones Can Seize Starting LT Job With Solid Performance Against Ravens

With LT Dan Moore Jr. officially ruled out of Sunday game against the Baltimore Ravens with a knee injury, OT Broderick Jones is set to get his first career start in the National Football League.

Many thought that Jones would win the starting job out of training camp, coming in as the Steelers’ brand new first-round draft pick, a player they had traded up for to usurp Moore. That wasn’t the case, however, as Moore, who has had a shaky start to his NFL career as the team’s starting left tackle, earned a vast majority of the reps in training camp and outplayed the rookie in the preseason.
