The Steelers will be without Robert Spillane at least three games. The Steelers put him on IR on Saturday afternoon, but activated ILB Ulysees Gilbert III.

The Pittsburgh Steelers announced another pair of moves ahead of this week’s game with the Buffalo Bills. The team has opted to put linebacker Robert Spillane on the Reserve/Injured list while he deals with a knee injury he suffered last week. By rule, the earliest Spillane will be available to play this season is in the regular-season finale against the Cleveland Browns.
Pittsburgh also activated linebacker Ulysees Gilbert from IR, which means he should be available to play as soon as this week. Getting Gilbert back really helps the depth of the team’s inside linebackers with Spillane and Vince Williams out.
