Camp outlook: Jones has filled in behind T.J. Watt and Anthony Chickillo at left outside linebacker as both battled minor ailments and had a decent amount of success.
Projected role: It’s hard to see the Steelers keeping more than four outside linebackers, but Jones might be the fifth if they decide to.
