PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) – UPDATED—Linebacker Devin Bush becomes the third member of the Steelers put on the COVID list on Wednesday. As the Chiefs put over a half a dozen players on the COVID-19 list this week, now the Steelers have put three on as well.
Bush joined another linebacker, Marcus Allen and offensive lineman Zach Banner in the COVID designation.
On Tuesday, Mike Tomlin said his team as a whole has handled COVID and the testing and attention to detail that goes with it very well.
“I've been extremely pleased with our attitude and our approach in terms of dealing with COVID,” Tomlin said. “Our agenda is to make it a winning edge for us.”
“We need to deal with it relatively well, meaning we need to deal with it better than others, and I like the mindset and the actions of our group in that regard.”
Before the announcement came from the team, Ben Roethlisberger asked if he is thinking about potential of rescheduling of the game on Sunday with the number of cases the Chiefs have.
"You don't,” Roethlisberger said Wednesday. “You don't worry about it because it's out of your control. We can't worry about things we can't control."
Another factor with Kansas City’s COVID list is it includes stars Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill, their kicker and other key players.
After dealing with all of the changes last year and what happened a few days ago, Roethlisberger joked maybe they will make it a double-header on Monday.
