Steelers Need Gilbert Healthy for Playoff Push

The 28-year-old, who started the first four games for the Steelers this season, started all 16 games a year ago and had previously missed only four games over the last three seasons combined.

Entering Week 4, the former second-round pick had been a starter in all but one game he played in during his six-year career.

Unfortunately, Gilbert's injury has been a setback for a Steelers offense that was finally approaching full strength. Running back Le'Veon Bell returned to the lineup in Week 4 after serving a suspension for the first three games of the season.

Ryan Harris replaced Gilbert in the lineup and remained there when Gilbert was sidelined. The 31-year-old started 16 games for the Denver Broncos last season before signing with the Steelers as a free agent.
