Roberts recorded 46 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, along with one forced fumble over 17 regular-season games during the 2024 campaign. Roberts entered the season having registered back-to-back seasons of more than 100 stops, but he didn't get even halfway to that mark in 2024 despite playing in all 17 of Pittsburgh's regular-season contests. Part of the reason was less playing time, but the veteran linebacker still played on more than 457 defensive snaps during the campaign after logging 557 last year. Roberts did come up big in the postseason with 14 stops in a wild-card loss to Baltimore. Despite the statistical decrease in 2024, Roberts was still one of the Steelers' better run-stoppers, and there's a chance he could be back with the team next year despite being a free agent this offseason.

Roberts logged 101 tackles (68 solo), including 2.5 sacks, while recording two pass defenses over 16 games during the 2023 season. Roberts joined the Steelers on a two-year deal ahead of the 2023 campaign, and he topped 100 tackles for a second consecutive season. He led the team in tackles by a significant margin, as no other Steeler had over 68 tackles. Roberts will presumably remain in Pittsburgh in 2024 and should have a chance to play a prominent role once again.

Roberts (pectoral) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports. Roberts has been battling a pectoral injury over the last week or so, but after a full practice session Thursday, it seems as if he's been able to move past the issue. The eighth-year linebacker has recorded 101 total tackles, including 10 tackles for loss, in 16 appearances this season, and he'll look to add to those totals in Sunday's wild-card outing in Buffalo while helping make up for the absence of T.J. Watt (knee).

Roberts (pectoral) was listed as a nonparticipant on the Steelers' practice estimate Tuesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Roberts sat out of Sunday's win at Seattle due to a pectoral injury, and now his availability for Week 18 is in doubt. He'll probably need to practice Wednesday or Thursday to have a chance to play Saturday.

Roberts (groin) logged a full practice Thursday and will play Saturday against the Colts, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Roberts progressed from DNP to limited to full participant as the practice week unfolded, setting him up to be cleared to take the field in Week 15. The 31-year-old should be able to handle his usual workload as a starting inside linebacker against Indianapolis.
