The Pittsburgh Steelers have benched veteran guard Chris Kemoeatu in favor of Doug Legursky.
Kemoeatu told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette about the demotion, which will take effect starting with Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
"They kind of talked to me about it today," the 28-year-old Kemoeatu said. "I haven't been playing well enough, I guess.
"I feel like I've had some bad games. I didn't think they were bad enough to probably get demoted, but it is what it is."
An undrafted free agent, Legursky has played a few games at left guard this season while Kemoeatu was sidelined with a knee injury.

Steelers Chiefs Week 12 Practice Injury Report – Thursday
The Steelers got a Thanksgiving day practice in on Thursday in preparation for their Sunday night game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Heath Miller Set To Break Steelers TE Record
When Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians implored his unit Wednesday to focus on team goals rather than individual accolades, veteran tight end Heath Miller likely didn't need the reminder. When told that he was five catches away from the Steelers record for tight ends, Miller shrugged his shoulders. "I didn't know that," he said. "It is what it is...
Steelers SS Ryan Clark Keeping Things In Perspective
Ryan Clark is quick to dust himself off when things go awry. He resists negativity, no matter how dire the situation. Typically, he's the first to remind everyone that football is only a game even when the Steelers fall short as they did in a gut-wrenching loss to rival Baltimore earlier this month. He vividly remembers having to be medically cleared to attend the funeral...

Steelers Don't Expect LB LaMarr Woodley To Play Vs Chiefs
The Pittsburgh Steelers are not counting on LaMarr Woodley to be able to play this weekend against the Kansas City Chiefs, a team source said Friday. The team believes the hamstring injury Woodley sustained Week 8 against the New England Patriots will not keep him out an extended period of time, but any possibility of the linebacker playing this Sunday night is ambitious. Woodley...
