It's only Tuesday and the Pittsburgh Steelers have already ruled out a pair of players for the Week 13 contest against the Buffalo Bills.
In his usual media availability on Tuesday, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin revealed that both left tackle Broderick Jones and defensive lineman Derrick Harmon won't play on Sunday.
"No Derrick Harman and Broderick Jones against the Bills. Significant development in Steelers vs. Bills," beat writer Mark Kaboly shared.
Jones suffered a neck injury in the Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears that forced his early exit.
Harmon is dealing with a knee injury. Tomlin noted it's a new one and not related to the knee issue the rookie had earlier in the season.
With Jones out, the Steelers will deploy Calvin Anderson at left tackle in his stead.
Anderson played all 23 snaps at left tackle after Jones exited last week and allowed one pressure while posting Pro Football Focus grades of 62.5 in run-blocking and 42.8 in pass-blocking.
As far Harmon's replacement, we'll see multiple players help fill the void, but rookie Yahya Black will likely get the most snaps.
