Andrus Peat expected to start at LT Sunday for Steelers

The Steelers will have a new left tackle starting on Sunday with usual starter Broderick Jones expected to be out with injury against the Bills in Week 13.

Talking to the media on Friday, Tomlin said the team will work with “AP” (Andrus Peat) at left tackle this week. It appears he’ll get the nod over the Steelers’ other offensive tackle backup, Calvin Anderson.

Peat was a three-time Pro Bowler from 2018-21 with the New Orleans Saints, who drafted him in the first round of the draft in 2015.

Peat, 32, has spent most of his time in the NFL as a guard, but he was top tackle prospect coming out of college and has a handful of starts on the outside in the pros, most recently in 2023 with the Saints.

The 6’7, 316-pound lineman signed with Pittsburgh on a one-year deal this offseason. He has played eight offensive snaps so far this season.

Peat has 104 career starts.
