Broderick Jones<\/a> is expected to miss the remainder of the 2025 season with a neck injury, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette<\/a>. A 2023 first-round pick, Jones recently went on injured reserve after sustaining the injury during the Pittsburgh\u00a0Steelers<\/a>‘ Week 12 loss to the Chicago\u00a0Bears<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To replace Jones at left tackle, Pittsburgh will turn to\u00a0Andrus Peat<\/a>, a fellow former first-round pick who earned three consecutive Pro Bowls from 2018-20 as a member of the New Orleans\u00a0Saints<\/a>. An 11-year veteran, Peat played in just one of Pittsburgh’s first 11 games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite his lack of 2025 playing time, Peat will start ahead of Spencer Anderson<\/a>, who remains in his role as the team’s swing tackle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I’m always ready to play or start,” Peat said<\/a>\u00a0ahead of Sunday’s game against the Bills<\/a>. “I’ve been a starter most of my career, so I always try to prepare like that and keep myself in that mindset.”<\/p>\n

In Peat, the Steelers have an experienced veteran who has 104 regular season starts and six additional postseason starts. Peat also brings experience in terms of protecting a Hall of Fame caliber quarterback after playing with Drew Brees during the final six seasons of his career. Now, he must protect a banged up Aaron Rodgers.<\/p>\n

Behind Peat, Pittsburgh has another proven left tackle in Anderson, a 2023 seventh-round pick who has made three starts while playing in each of the Steelers’ first 11 games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Calvin Anderson<\/a> has done an awesome job, and he will continue to do an awesome job as a swing tackle for us,” said<\/a> Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. “We felt it was important to keep him in that swing role, to make sure that we fortify ourselves at both spots. Andrus Peat has played a lot of football over the course of his career and has been a wire-to-wire starter. We certainly got a lot of ball in front of us, and so we feel really comfortable about that division of labor.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Through 11 games, the Steelers’ offensive line allowed 21 sacks. They face a Bills’ defense Sunday that generates most of its pass rush from their defensive line, led by defensive ends Joey Bosa<\/a> and Greg\u00a0Rousseau<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Broderick Jones is expected to miss the remainder of the 2025 season with a neck injury, according to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":565958,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2055],"tags":[1586,55210,86742,12307,465,7,1255,6,520,57,2360,426,67372,86740,86741,86745,86744,86743,86746],"class_list":{"0":"post-565957","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pittsburgh-steelers","8":"tag-aaron-rodgers","9":"tag-aaron-rodgers-injury","10":"tag-aaron-rodgers-wrist","11":"tag-andrus-peat","12":"tag-broderick-jones","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-mike-tomlin","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-pittsburgh","17":"tag-pittsburgh-steelers","18":"tag-pittsburghsteelers","19":"tag-steelers","20":"tag-steelers-injuries","21":"tag-steelers-left-tackle","22":"tag-steelers-offensive-line","23":"tag-steelers-vs-bills-score","24":"tag-steelers-vs-bills-updates","25":"tag-steelers-vs-bills","26":"tag-who-is-andrus-peat"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115639789058589453","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=565957"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565957\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/565958"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=565957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=565957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=565957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
