The Steelers will get or should get significant contributions from Jones, Bell, Wheaton, Thomas, as well as Williams. Jones will back up OLB Jason Worilds or platoon with Worilds. Bell has that mid-foot sprain and it looks like Week 7-8 he will be back in action. Wheaton looked the part in pre-season and looks to be that 4th WR right behind Jerricho Cotchery. Williams and Thomas should be big on Special Teams. Watch Thomas in the Nickel as he can play Nickel and both Safety positions.
