Steelers Get Positive Injury News at LB

The Pittsburgh Steelers will have their starting inside linebacker on the field against the Packers.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers will have inside linebacker Elandon Roberts available in Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers, despite dealing with a knee injury, Roberts tells All Steelers. 

Roberts was limited in practice to start the week and then missed the following day. He returned on Friday and says he's ready to go for game day with no limitations in his game. 

The Steelers are already down an inside linebacker with Cole Holcomb being placed on Injured Reserve after undergoing knee surgery. Pittsburgh is expected to elevate Tariq Carpenter to the active/inactive list for Week 10, allowing him to be on the field and then revert back to the practice squad. 

Roberts and Kwon Alexander will man the middle as starters, with Mark Robinson stepping in as a backup. In eight games this season, Roberts has 48 tackle, including five for loss, and 1.5 sacks.
