Steelers DL MeMarvin Leal clears concussion protocol

The best part of having an early bye week is it has allowed the Pittsburgh Steelers to work past the rash of injuries the team got early on. The Steelers had a long list of guys out in Week Five against the Baltimore Ravens but the team appears to be getting most of them back including starting defensive lineman DeMarvin Leal.

Leal is listed as a co-starting defensive tackle with rookie Keeanu Benton.  Leal missed the Steelers last game while he was in the concussion protocol but on Monday the team got back to work with him cleared.

The Steelers defensive line took a huge hit we Cam Heyward on IR. Leal provided some push on the outside but it is clear that Benton is the future of the position. Nevertheless, the Steelers can never have enough healthy defensive linemen this week.
