Isaiah Buggs was a healthy scratch for the first six games of his rookie season a year ago after making the 53-man roster as a former sixth-round draft pick, serving as the sixth defensive lineman, who very rarely dresses except in the case of injuries opening up opportunities.
The Pittsburgh Steelers must have felt good about the progress he has made since last season, however, since they have now installed him as one of their two game-day reserves, playing both tackle and end. He saw a career-high 17 snaps on Monday against the New York Giants, joining Tyson Alualu on one tackle in the game, a run stop against Saquon Barkley.
