Steelers’ second preseason game vs Jets reveals risers and fallers

The Steelers fell 17-0 to the Jets at Acrisure Stadium, but several players boosted their stock while others struggled: rising linebackers Elandon Roberts (five tackles in his first game), Carson Bruener (strong on the Jets’ final drive), Rayshawn Jenkins (starter at safety with a tackle for loss and a forced grounding penalty), Jack Sawyer (sack and pass breakup) and Kaleb Johnson (10 rushes for 39 yards) gave coaches reasons to keep them, while Will Howard threw two interceptions and produced no points, Drew Allar flashed potential but again no scoring, Broderick Jones had pass-protection issues, rookie returner Kaden Wetjen fumbled, and DeShon Elliott allowed a TD before later forcing a fumble. The final preseason game is Thursday at Highmark Stadium against the Bills.

Steelers camp notes: miscues mount as Roberts stirs the practice

Steelers' third padded practice featured several early mental errors—botched snap, illegal procedure, and a fumble in the first eight plays—prompting coaches to stress fixes; inside linebacker Elandon Roberts energized the session with big hits, sparked a post-play fight, and energized his new teammates, while DeShon Elliott ramped up his return and could play Friday; Bernard stood out in the red zone, and roster battles continued at right guard and slot corner as depth players stepped up ahead of the Jets game.

Steelers Adjust Lineup and Activate McFarland Amidst Injury Woes

The Pittsburgh Steelers will have to adjust their inside linebacker rotation following the season-ending injury to Cole Holcomb. Head coach Mike Tomlin stated that they will now rely on a more traditional rotation featuring Elandon Roberts and Kwon Alexander, with one coming off the field in sub-packages. While the loss of Holcomb is significant, Tomlin believes in the capabilities of Roberts and Alexander, and there is potential for second-year linebacker Mark Robinson to see some playing time as well. The Steelers had initially found success with a three-man rotation, but will now have to adapt without Holcomb.

Steelers' New Signings and Dreams Fulfilled: A Recap

Linebacker Elandon Roberts believes his physical, run-stopping style of play is a perfect fit for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and turned down other offers to sign with the team. Roberts is expected to fill the void left by Vince Williams as a downhill presence at the BUCK position, and will be a factor as a blitzer. While he struggles in coverage, Roberts' strengths in run defense make him a valuable addition to the Steelers' defense.

"Steelers' Free Agency Moves: Roberts, Holcomb, and Kazee Impact Defense"

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed free agent linebacker Elandon Roberts, who spent four seasons with the Patriots before playing the past three years in Miami. Roberts is a veteran linebacker who started all 17 games for Miami last season, making 104 tackles while recording 4.5 sacks. With Roberts and Cole Holcomb now in the equation, it seems the Steelers have an idea of how they'd like to approach the inside linebacker position. Holcomb will be the every-down linebacker who plays more in coverage, while Roberts appears to be the run-stopping thumper who also can be utilized as a blitzer.

Steelers bolster linebacker corps with Elandon Roberts signing.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed veteran linebacker Elandon Roberts to a two-year deal, adding a true BUCK linebacker to their defense. Roberts is a physical, downhill force who excels in run defense and is an impactful blitzer, but struggles in pass coverage. He is expected to bring a significant physical element to the Steelers' defense and provide special teams value. Roberts' signing comes as part of the team's efforts to rebuild their inside linebacker room, which has seen several departures and coaching changes.

Steelers' LB signings and losses shake up defensive plans.

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed former Miami Dolphins inside linebacker Elandon Roberts, but Bleacher Report's Maurice Moton gave the move a "C" grade due to Roberts' lack of reliability in pass coverage. However, the signing makes sense as the Steelers needed depth at the linebacker position after cutting Myles Jack. The team will likely address their need for a coverage linebacker in the future, either through another signing or in the NFL Draft.
