Pittsburgh Steelers starting left tackle Broderick Jones, already ruled out for Sunday's game against the visiting Buffalo Bills, was placed on injured reserve on Saturday and will miss at least the next four games.
Jones injured his neck in Pittsburgh's 31-28 road loss to the Chicago Bears on Nov. 23. Head coach Mike Tomlin said on Friday that veteran guard/tackle Andrus Peat will start in his place on Sunday.
The 24-year-old Jones started all 11 games this season at left tackle and 38 of 45 regular-season games and both playoff games since his debut in 2023. He participated in 97% of the offensive snap counts this season.
The Steelers selected Jones 14th overall in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Georgia.
Peat, 32, played eight snaps at guard in the Steelers' 25-10 loss at the Los Angeles Chargers on Nov. 9 in his only action this season.
A three-time Pro Bowl selection (2018, 2019, 2020), Peat has played mostly guard in 127 regular-season games (104 starts) for the New Orleans Saints (2015-23), Las Vegas Raiders (2024) and Steelers. The Saints drafted him 13th overall out of Stanford in 2015.
Also Saturday, the Steelers elevated veteran cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. to the active-inactive roster for Sunday's game. Pittsburgh signed the free agent to the practice squad on Nov. 11 following offseason spinal fusion surgery.
Samuel, 26, played in 50 regular-season games (47 starts) for the Chargers from 2021-24 after Los Angeles selected him in the second round of the 2021 draft out of Florida State. He played in only four games (four starts) last season because of injuries and became a free agent.
He has 176 career tackles as well as six interceptions and 37 passes defensed.
