Steelers’ practice squad player arrested early Saturday morning

The Pittsburgh Steelers were given a last-minute bye week for Week 4 of the NFL season with the postponement of their game on Sunday. As with most cases during a bye week, the last thing any fan wants to hear is their team in the news as usually it is not for a great reason. Unfortunately, this is the case for the Pittsburgh Steelers even with they bye week being such short notice.

According to Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, offensive lineman Jarron Jones, who is a member of the Steelers 16-man practice squad, was arrested early Saturday morning for aggravated assault and strangulation.
