The Pittsburgh Steelers are dealing with some major left tackle injuries heading into Week 15’s Monday Night Football matchup against the Miami Dolphins, as a fourth-stringer appears to be gearing up for his first NFL start.
With starting left tackle Broderick Jones out for the season with a neck injury, backup left tackle Andrus Peat suffering a concussion, and third-string left tackle Calvin Anderson recovering from a knee injury, fourth-string left tackle Dylan Cook will likely get the starting nod on Monday night after making his NFL debut against the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday.

Signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent in 2022, Cook spent time on and off the practice squad before being waived by Tampa Bay on May 15, 2023.
Cook signed with Pittsburgh three days later and even managed to make the final roster. On and off the Steelers’ practice squad over the next two seasons, Cook’s number would finally be called against Baltimore in Week 14, where he didn’t allow a single quarterback hurry or hit in nine pass block snaps.
