• Placed LB Joe Schobert & DL Chris Wormley on the Reserve/COVID-19 List

This is a blow to a defense that struggled mightily last week. Schobert wears the green dot and Wormley is a key cog in the defensive line rotation. Wormley also missed last week with a groin injury. Robert Spillane and Isaiahh Loudermilk will likely see increased time in their absence.
We wish both Schobert and Wormley a speedy recovery and look forward to them rejoining the team as soon as possible. The rest of the team prepares for a Monday night contest against the Cleveland Browns for what is likely going to be quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s last home game at Heinz Field.
