Steelers Make Change to Starting OL

The Pittsburgh Steelers have not decided on a definitive starter at offensive tackle.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers have listed two players as their starting right tackle heading into Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers. 

After starting over Chuks Okorafor in Week 9, rookie Broderick Jones is now the first name on the Steelers' depth chart at right tackle. However, the team has listed Jones "or" Okorafor as their starter as they begin the week. 

Okorafor was benched for something he said after the Steelers' loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7. With the rookie in his place, marking his first start on the right side and his second start overall, the team rushed for 166 yards. 

Jones is naturally a left tackle, but the team appears impressed enough with him after last week that the two will battle for the starting job. 

Okorafor is the Steelers' highest-paid offensive lineman this season, with a dead cap hit of $16.1 million. Still, Pittsburgh is considering a change at the position, and will have an answer on their Week 9 starter by the end of the week.
