Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin’s weekly press conference focused heavily on Vance McDonald’s positive COVID test and news four other players, including quarterback Ben Roethlisberger , have been placed on the COVID-Reserve list.
Tomlin defended playing McDonald against Dallas despite the tight end feeling sick a couple days before the game. He also explained the change in the team’s procedures this week due to COVID-19.
