ILB Blake Martinez ‘Told To Be Ready To Go’ Versus Patriots Thursday Night

Between the game following Kwon Alexander’s season-ending injury and the groin injury suffered by Elandon Roberts on Sunday, Pittsburgh Steelers ILB Mark Robinson played zero defensive snaps. That’s two-plus games’ worth of work that he was not even, in spite of the fact that the team had lost the majority of its snaps at the position in a two-week span.

While Roberts was able to take on a full-time role, it was Mykal Walker, recently called up from the practice squad, who was asked to step in. Robinson remained on the bench until Roberts was hurt against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, and he will likely be back on the bench again tonight, with new names being added to the rotation.
