Report: Steelers LT Broderick Jones (neck) suffers setback

Steelers left tackle Broderick Jones will be examined this week after suffering a setback during his recovery from a season-ending neck injury, ESPN reported Monday.

The tests will help to determine his availability for training camp and the start of the regular season, per the report.

Jones, who turns 25 next month, landed on injured reserve on Nov. 29 after injuring his neck in Pittsburgh's Week 12 loss at Chicago. He missed the final six games of the season.

Jones started the first 11 games last season as quarterback Aaron Rodgers' left tackle, playing 97% of the offensive snaps before getting hurt. He has started 38 of 45 regular-season games and both playoff games since being drafted in the first round (14th overall) in 2023.
