Jones' Neck Injury Casts Doubt on Steelers' O-Line

0:00On April 20, Pittsburgh Steelers fans got some rough news on their starting left tackle, Brotterick Jones. He suffered a setback recovering from that nasty neck injury he got back in week 12 last season. Now he's lined up for exams this week to figure out if he'll be good for training camp or even the start of the 2026 season. Jones came in as a first round pick out of Georgia back in 2023, but he hasn't locked down the pro level yet. He bounced around right tackle as a rookie, then split time there in 2024 before Troy Faltenew's knee injury handed him the gig. Last year he slid over to left tackle after Dan Moore Jr. bounced to Tennessee, but ups and downs led to that neck issue sidelineing him. This hits hard for the team and Jones himself, with his future in Pittsburgh looking shaky. The Steelers are expected to pass on his fifth year option, putting his spot on the roster in real doubt as many camp kicks off. If Jones can't get right, Dylan Cook leaves the pack to step in at left tackle from the current

They could shake up the whole draft plan and line set up heading into camp. I'm Cory with a story and you've been listening to NFL news today, AI-powered football coverage.
