It’s no secret that the Steelers have had a wide range of injuries this season. Receiver Diontae Johnson and defensive lineman Cam Heyward both went down in Week 1 and missed the next month and a half of the season. Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick dealt with a hamstring injury that forced him to miss a month. And now, quarterback Kenny Pickett will be out for 2-4 weeks with an ankle sprain.
The position group hit the hardest, though, has been inside linebacker. The Steelers lost Cole Holcomb and Kwon Alexander in consecutive weeks to season-ending injuries, and Elandon Roberts went down with a groin injury in Week 13 against the Cardinals.
