Spencer Anderson Battles for Spot in Steelers' Lineup
Spencer Anderson, a reserve offensive lineman, is fighting to secure his position with the Pittsburgh Steelers during the preseason opener.
The NFL preseason opener for the Pittsburgh Steelers is with the Houston Texans at Acrisure Stadium, and all eyes are on the roster bubble players hoping to reach the roster. One of these is Spencer Anderson, a specialist reserve offensive lineman who can play in regular season games to add depth to Zach Banner and former Kansas City Chiefs guard Bushman.
After a training camp in which Anderson has been somewhat silent but steady, he is currently entrenched in a major battle to maintain his position as a swing interior offensive lineman. With the Pittsburgh Steelers upgrading their trenches with three rookie linemen during that time, the competition is intensifying. Anderson’s flexibility and ability to compete on several initiatives may be his key asset in earning his place.
This is a crucial opportunity for Anderson in tonight’s game to fully value it while testing himself and showing exactly where he is. This is key to the Steelers, which will soon balance all their options on the run. Will Anderson make the final selection on the strategic team lists for 2021? Well, for this, you will have to wait and see the rest of the preseason.
