‘Rob’s Earned The Opportunity To Play A Lot:’ Teryl Austin Says Spillane Taking Advantage Of Opportunity

Though the Pittsburgh Steelers have done their best to limit Robert Spillane’s playing time, every year he finds a way to get on the field. Whether it’s trading for Avery Williamson or Joe Schobert or drafting Devin Bush or signing Myles Jack, #41 ends up seeing snaps by season’s end. 2022 is no different and over the last two weeks, Spillane hasn’t missed a snap.

Speaking with reporters as he does every Thursday, DC Teryl Austin said Spillane has run with his chance.

“I think Rob’s earned the opportunity to play a lot,” he told reporters via a transcript provided by the team.
