Steelers In Danger of Losing Another ILB

The Pittsburgh Steelers will be hoping for a quick recovery for another starting inside linebacker.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers inside linebacker room could be in trouble as Eladon Roberts took another step backward due to a knee injury he may have sustained in practice. 

The Steelers are already without Cole Holcomb for the remainder of the season after undergoing knee surgery. Now, they're hoping Roberts makes a quick recovery on his knee injury, but that hope could be fading. 

After being limited to start the week, Roberts missed the second day of practice. If he does not practice tomorrow, chances are the Steelers will be without him on game day against the Green Bay Packers. 

If Roberts cannot go, the Steelers would be with just Kwon Alexander and Mark Robinson at inside linebacker. Keanu Neal could move down from safety to provide help, and the team does have a few options to be elevated from the practice squad. 

Tariq Carpenter, Mykal Walker and Kyron Johnson are all available if needed. None have been elevated for a game with the Steelers this season.
