PITTSBURGH -- The Steelers added three players to the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, including starting inside linebacker Devin Bush.
The Steelers also added offensive tackle Zach Banner and linebacker Marcus Allen to the COVID-19 list. Montravius Adams is also on the list, and practice squad OL Malcolm Pridgeon was added Tuesday.
Bush, a 2019 first-round pick, has been inconsistent this season in his return from a torn ACL a year ago. But he played well in coverage against the Tennessee Titans and had one pass defended. He played 66% of snaps in that game, and he's played at least half of the defensive snaps in 12 games this season.
With both Allen and Bush on the COVID-19 list, the Steelers are thinned at inside linebacker, leaving them with four healthy players at the position: Joe Schobert, Robert Spillane, Ulysees Gilbert III and rookie Buddy Johnson, who's played just six defensive snaps.
