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.

There would only be Kwon Alexander and Mark Robinson playing inside linebacker for the Steelers if Roberts was unable to play. 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.

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