Pittsburgh Steelers Bench Broderick Jones After Penalties
News summary

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle Broderick Jones was benched by coach Mike Tomlin after committing three penalties during a single drive in a 13-6 victory against the Denver Broncos. Jones's infractions included a false start and two holding penalties, one of which negated a significant play that could have shifted the momentum in the game. Following the benching, Tomlin confirmed that these penalties were the reason for Jones's removal, as rookie Troy Fautanu took over the right tackle position for the remainder of the game. Despite starting the season opener, Jones is now reassessing his role after struggling with penalties and performance issues while dealing with nagging arm injuries. The Steelers' coaching strategy has come under scrutiny for rotating Jones and Fautanu, raising questions about the future lineup as the team prepares for upcoming games. Moving forward, it remains uncertain whether Jones will reclaim his position against the Los Angeles Chargers.
