WTF??? That sounds like a GREAT use of a roster spot... smhThe Pittsburgh Steelers demoted Jacoby Jones, taking away his return duties.
On Tuesday, the team's updated depth chart listed Jones as the backup kick returner and third-string punt returner.
(Who knew third-string punt returner was a thing? Where do we sign up for that gig?)
Markus Wheaton takes over Jones spot atop the kick returner depth chart and as the backup punt returner to Antonio Brown.
"I think the depth chart clearly reflects that he's a backup this week," coach Mike Tomlin told reporters Tuesday. "We'll proceed with that in mind as we prepare. We'll get Markus Wheaton ready to return kicks and Antonio Brown and Markus Wheaton as punt returners and we'll see where that takes us."
Jones was benched in Sunday night's blowout win over the Indianapolis Colts after he fumbled twice in the first half.
The demotion could be a prelude to the Steelers jettisoning Jones. The once-dynamic kick returner has been abysmal this season. The San Diego Chargers previously cut him after five games averaging -0.8 punt return yards.
Jacoby Jones now Steelers' third-string punt returner
Of course he did... Excuse my French, but Burfict is a punk ass bitch. People like him make me want to wish injury upon a player. He took more than just that cheap shot, actually several.
looks like burfict launched at ben's knees to me

Thank God Ben is the toughest SOB in the NFL.
I don't feel bad at all towards their fans, but I do towards Dalton. I think Dalton is a classy guy, but it stops there within that entire franchise.well the way I see it hey they took bell we took dalton .. and I aint sorry or feel bad
There is no part in the game of football for such a lack of respect for fellow players and for the game itself. People who try to convince everyone that Burfict's play was not dirty have lost touch with reality. The evidence supports that. He has been fined by the NFL 4x to the tune of $77,000 over the course of his career (should see another fine this week) and also went undrafted because of character concerns. Most of his fines were because of "intent to cause harm/injury" on other players. IMO Burfict is not only bad for the game of football but he is simply not mentally and emotionally fit for society in general. It is only a matter of time before he ends someones career or even possibly his own.
Rant over...

Of course.
Just don't tell that to a Cincy fan.
Remember, only the Steelers do that shit.............
