Dylan Cook could end up going from the practice squad one week to starting the next, depending on certain variables. He made his NFL debut on Sunday, but only as a result of injuries to three different players. Once perceived as a diamond in the rough, he risked facing irrelevance, but could soon be very, very relevant.
Two weeks ago, LT Broderick Jones suffered an injury that landed him on IR, and it’s not clear whether he’ll return this season. Either way, he must miss at least two more games before he is even eligible. The Steelers opted for Andrus Peat to start over Calvin Anderson, the latter missing Sunday’s game anyway due to injury.
