Report: Steelers OT Broderick Jones to start at RT vs Titans

According to the Pittsburgh Steelers fan account SteelerNation, there is a change coming to the Steelers starting lineup this week against the Tennessee Titans. They have reported that Pittsburgh is going to bench starting right tackle Chuks Okorafor and rookie Broderick Jones will start in his place.

Pittsburgh needs to find a way to spark the offense and Okorafor hasn’t played very well. But neither has starting left tackle Dan Moore Jr. I suppose Pittsburgh felt like a change had to happen but in their view, Moore is a better option to keep in the starting lineup and adding Jones on the right could help with the run offense.

Jones played five snaps last week against the Jacksonville Jaguars as the team’s sixth offensive lineman in run-heavy sets and did a solid job. For the season Jones has played 126 total snaps, has had zero penalties and allowed no sacks.
