Steelers vs Packers: 4 guys we can’t wait to watch this week

This week the Pittsburgh Steelers square off against the Green Bay Packers and despite the win last week, this feels like a team still searching for an identity and continues to shuffle the roster. After the drama of last week, we are ready to see the Steelers back on the field and playing better football. Here are four guys we can’t wait to see play this week.

With Chuks Okorafor benched again this week for saying the quiet part out loud but the good news is we get to see Jones back in the starting lineup again this week.

After his little tantrum last week, we are banking on the Steelers coaches making it right and getting Pickens involved in the offense early and often this week.

LB Kwon Alexander

With Cole Holcomb out, Alexander becomes the lead inside linebacker. We hate to see Holcomb go down but love the fact that the drop-off here won’t be huge with the physical Alexander in the lineup.

DE Keeanu Benton

Another guy who is going to see a huge role this week due to injury is Keeanu Benton. Montravius Adams is out which lines Benton up for a huge role along with Cam Heyward and Larry Ogunjobi.
