PITTSBURGH -- Marcus Gilbert and Doug Legursky's left shoulders appear to be OK. Maybe. Jonathan Scott's left ankle remains tender but not terrible. Probably.

Still, if you're an out-of-work offensive lineman, there could be a call from the Pittsburgh Steelers in your near future.

Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday the Steelers are "open to looking to maybe bring someone in" this week to provide the team with some much-needed depth after three starters had to be helped off the field during Sunday night's 23-20 victory over Indianapolis.

Tomlin stressed the team is looking for depth, not someone to show up on Wednesday and be ready to play in Sunday's game at Houston.

"It would just be for practice purposes only," Tomlin said.

At least, as of now. Given the perpetual state of flux the line has been for the last two seasons, Tomlin knows it's too early to rule anything out.

I guess it's more of a cap space thing than anything else with him, but damn we need him. Never should have let him AND Starks go. Mike Tomlin: Steelers need O-line help 294855916

We for sure need some help. Can't understand how Tomlin can't see the elephant in the room. Why is it all the other teams can manipulate the cap and we can't?

I agree we should have held on to Flozell but I always thought Starks was lazy and an underachiever.

really the Steelers need o-line help didn't see this l throught it was the game plan for Ben to run around and dodge defenders. have Mendy dance in the backfield to find no hole to run through. Throught the coaches were trying to get Mendy on Dancing with the Stars. Mike Tomlin: Steelers need O-line help 1841364231
