When Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin addressed the media on Tuesday he said it was a big if as to whether or not offensive tackle Dan Moore Jr. would be healthy enough to play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.
According to Steelers beat writer Ray Fittipaldo, unless Moore has a big setback between now and the game, Moore will be back in the starting lineup after missing the team’s Week Five game against the Baltimore Ravens. Rookie Broderick Jones got his first NFL start against the Ravens in place of Moore and played well.

The Steelers offensive line has been the weak link for much of the season. Pittsburgh traded up in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft to select Jones but head coach Mike Tomlin appears to be content with letting Jones sit and riding things out with Moore. Pro Football Focus ranked the Steelers offensive line No. 23 in the NFL and No. 26 in pass blocking.
