  • Tops 100 tackles in 2023

    Roberts logged 101 tackles (68 solo), including 2.5 sacks, while recording two pass defenses over 16 games during the 2023 season.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Practices in full

    Roberts (pectoral) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: 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).

  • Records limited practice Wednesday

    Roberts (pectoral) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Roberts suffered a pectoral injury Week 16 versus Cincinnati, and the issue appears to still be lingering. The eight-year vet sat out Week 17 due to the injury but was able to return for the Steelers' season finale against Baltimore, though he was limited to just 39 percent of the team's defensive snaps. Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Roberts is expected to play in Sunday's wild-card game versus Buffalo, per Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site.

  • Good to go

    Roberts (pectoral) will play in Saturday's game versus the Ravens, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official website reports.

    Analysis: Roberts was a limited participant at practice throughout the week and was considered a true game-time decision. He is apparently feeling well enough to give it a go, so look for him to take on his usual workload at linebacker, assuming he avoids any setbacks.

  • Gets questionable tag

    Roberts (pectoral) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game at Baltimore, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Roberts was a limited participant at practice Wednesday and Thursday, so it's possible his availability will be in question until the Steelers are required to list their inactive players 90 minutes prior to kickoff Saturday. If Roberts is one of those inactive players in Week 18, Mykal Walker and Myles Jack figure to start at linebacker against the Ravens.

  • Estimated as non-participant

    Roberts (pectoral) was listed as a nonparticipant on the Steelers' practice estimate Tuesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Won't play Week 17

    Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Roberts (pectoral) will not play Sunday against the Seahawks, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Roberts was injured against Cincinnati. Being ruled out this early in the week would suggest the veteran linebacker is dealing with a significant injury. The Steelers already have three linebackers on injured reserve. Mykal Walker and Myles Jack finished the Week 16 with the majority of snaps.

  • Does not finish game

    Roberts was ruled out of Saturday's win over the Bengals due to a pectoral injury that will warrant an MRI, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Roberts left the locker room in a sling, and it seems like a formality the veteran will need an MRI to find the extent of the damage. He had five tackles prior to leaving the game with the injury, allowing Mykal Walker to finish with a team lead in tackles (eight), while Roberts' prominent substitution, Myles Jack, tallied six tackles and a sack.

  • Steelers' leading tackler at Indy

    Roberts recorded nine tackles (eight solo) in Saturday's 30-13 loss at Indianapolis.

    Analysis: Roberts managed eight-plus total tackles for the seventh time this season through 14 games, aided in part by the Colts' 34 rushing attempts Saturday. The Bengals aren't likely to run quite as much in Week 16, but Roberts is still on the IDP radar.

  • Cleared from injury report

    Roberts (groin) logged a full practice Thursday and will play Saturday against the Colts, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Limited practice Wednesday

    Roberts (groin) was a limited participant at the Steelers' practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official website reports.

    Analysis: Roberts did not participate at practice Tuesday, but his limited session Wednesday is a step in the right direction for his chances to play Saturday versus the Colts. The interior linebacker played through the injury in Week 14 versus the Patriots, recording six tackles, including a sack.

  • Produces sack in loss

    Roberts recorded six tackles (two solo), including a sack, while also deflecting a pass in Thursday's 21-18 loss to New England.

    Analysis: Roberts was able to break through the Patriots' offensive line and corral Bailey Zappe in the second quarter for his first sack since Week 8. The 29-year-old is the lone survivor from Pittsburgh's interior linebacker group from Week 1, and he has compiled 86 tackles, including 2.5 sacks, while deflecting two passes over 13 games this season.

  • Active Thursday

    Roberts (groin) is active for Thursday night's game against the Patriots, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The linebacker was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice after injuring his groin in Week 13 against the Cardinals. Roberts has 80 tackles, including 1.5 sacks, in 2023.

  • Gets back on field

    Roberts (groin) was a limited participant during Tuesday's walkthrough practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Roberts logged a DNP on Monday's estimate, so this would seemingly be a step in the right direction for the veteran linebacker. However, with only one more day to prepare before the Patriots arrive for a Thursday matchup, the 29-year-old's status is still very much in question for Week 14.

  • Status for Thursday in question

    Roberts' (groin) status is in flux for Thursday's game against the Patriots, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

    Analysis: Roberts suffered the injury in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, and although he attempted to return to the game, he ultimately had to exit for good. With the Steelers on a short week, it may be an uphill battle for the veteran linebacker to suit against New England on Thursday night.

  • Returns then exits

    Roberts (groin) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Roberts left the game and returned, but ultimately aggravated the injury, according to Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com, before being ruled out. Mark Robinson has stepped in for the veteran linebacker.

  • Leaves with groin issue

    Roberts (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Roberts is in the blue tent on the Steelers' sideline, and he's getting looked at by the team's medical staff. For the time being, in a Pittsburgh linebacker corps that's already extremely depleted by injuries, Kyron Johnson should see more work on the team's defense.

  • Leads team in tackles

    Roberts recorded six tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Roberts once again led the team in tackles in Week 12, though the numbers weren't as eye-popping. With Cole Holcomb (knee) and Kwon Alexander (Achilles) both done for the season, the interior linebacker has a clear path to a productive conclusion to the 2023 campaign.

  • Records career-high 15 tackles

    Roberts recorded 15 tackles (11 solo), including two for loss, in Sunday's loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Sunday was Roberts' 117th career game, and the 15 tackles were the most he's ever had in a contest during his eight-year career. Roberts also played 100 percent of the defensive snaps. On the season, Roberts has 71 tackles (47 solo), including eight TFLs and 1.5 sacks, four QB hits and one pass breakup.

  • Good to go

    Roberts (knee) is not listed on the Steelers' final injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Packers.

    Analysis: Roberts bounced back from a DNP on Thursday with a full workload to close out the week. As a result, he looks in line to take on his usual workload at inside linebacker alongside Kwon Alexander assuming he avoids any setbacks.

  • Limited Wednesday

    Roberts (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: The veteran linebacker has appeared in all eight games to begin the season, seeing action on 40 percent of the Steelers' defensive snaps and 37 percent on special teams. In total, Roberts has recorded 48 tackles (30 solo), five TFLs, four QB hits and 1.5 sacks.

  • Should see more playing time

    Roberts recorded nine tackles in Thursday's 20-16 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Roberts was on the field for only 51 percent of defensive snaps, yet he still managed to lead the Steelers in tackles. It was his highest number of stops since Week 4. It's also likely that Robrets sees an expanded role moving forward, with Cole Holcomb (knee) sidelined for the rest of the campaign.

  • Records first sack of 2023

    Roberts had five tackles (four solo) including 1.5 sacks in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Roberts had his first sack since Week 17 of the 2022 season. He played 30 defensive snaps Sunday, which is the second most he's played this season as he works behind Cole Holcomb and Kwon Alexander at inside linebacker.

  • Second on team in tackles

    Roberts registered 10 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 30-6 loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: Roberts played on 40 defensive snaps Sunday, his highest mark since Week 1 against the 49ers when he was on the field for 28 defensive snaps. The fact he was second in tackles despite playing just 58 percent of snaps on defense is impressive. The Steelers will look for that efficiency in Week 5 when they take on the Ravens at home.

  • Not on injury report

    Roberts (neck) was not on the Steelers' injury report Wednesday, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Roberts suffered a neck stinger in the team's 26-22 win over the Browns on Monday night, but he appears ready to go ahead of Pittsburgh's Week 3 matchup with the Raiders on Sunday night. The linebacker has recorded 10 tackles over his first two contests with the Steelers.

  • Suffers stinger

    Roberts suffered a neck stinger during Monday's 26-22 win over the Browns, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Roberts recorded two tackles before exiting with the injury and his status for Week 3 against the Raiders will likely remain up in the air throughout the week. If he's unable to play, Mark Robinson would likely step into the primary reserve role at inside linebacker.

  • Signing with Steelers

    Pittsburgh is signing Roberts to a two-year contract Thursday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Roberts racked up career numbers with the Dolphins last season, surpassing the century mark in terms of tackles while notching 4.5 sacks in 17 regular-season games. Heading into his age-29 season, Roberts seems like an ideal fit to shore up a key role in Pittsburgh's linebacker corps.

  • Career numbers in contract year

    Roberts racked up 102 tackles (68 solo) and 4.5 sacks across 17 regular-season games with the Dolphins in 2022.

    Analysis: Roberts eclipsed 100 tackles for the first time in his career while also notching a new high in terms of sacks while on a one-year deal with Miami in 2022, so it's conceivable that new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio could want him back for 2023. The 28-year-old has spent the last three seasons with the Dolphins and would bring some veteran consistency to a relatively young linebacker corps if he's re-signed.

  • Notches another sack Week 17

    Roberts posted 10 tackles (seven solo), including one sack, in Sunday's 23-21 defeat versus New England.

    Analysis: Roberts matched his season high in tackles while also logging his second sack in as many games. This sack also ended the Patriots first drive of the second quarter, as the 28-year-old linebacker brought down quarterback Mac Jones for a 12-yard loss on third down. Roberts also logged one of his seven solo tackles on special teams, and he has played 113 of his 729 total snaps in this phase over 16 games. He has now accumulated career highs in both tackles (103) and sacks (4.5) this season.

  • Records sack Sunday

    Roberts registered seven tackles (four solo) and one sack in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Roberts once again played a prominent role in Miami's defensive game plan this past weekend, as he recorded his first sack since Week 12 to go along with seven stops. The veteran now has a team-leading and career-high 94 tackles throughout the 2022-23 campaign, while he's also already corralled the most sacks (3.5) in any one season of his seven-year NFL tenure.

    Roberts (calf) has returned to Sunday's game against the 49ers, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

  • Exits early

    Roberts has left Sunday's game against the 49ers with a calf injury.

    Analysis: Roberts' exit will leave a hole at inside linebacker for the Dolphins. While he is out of the game, Sam Eguavoen and Duke Riley are candidates to see extra work.

  • Another team-leading tackle outing

    Roberts recorded nine tackles (eight solo) and one sack during Sunday's 30-15 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Although Roberts played just 49 percent of Miami's defensive snaps in Week 12, he led his club in stops for the third consecutive game. The 28-year-old linebacker continues to display solid productivity in his rotational role, and he'll look to do so again this weekend versus the 49ers.

  • Paces team in tackles Sunday

    Roberts recorded seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 39-17 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Roberts finished as the Dolphins' leading tackle despite playing just a season-low 40 percent of the team's defensive snaps. The 28-year-old inside linebacker has now logged 372 of his 433 total snaps on defense this season, so it's likely his limited playing time Sunday was largely due to the blowout nature of this win. Roberts should continue to serve as one of Miami's top tacklers against the Texans following the team's Week 11 bye.

  • Game-high nine stops in win

    Roberts recorded nine tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 35-32 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Roberts led both squads with nine stops in Sunday's matchup versus Chicago, bringing his tackle total up to 55 through Miami's first nine weeks of the 2022 campaign. The 28-year-old also played a season-high 53 snaps this past weekend, and he'll look to compile yet another solid effort when the team hosts Cleveland on Sunday.

  • Solid effort in loss

    Roberts notched seven tackles (three solo) and 1.5 sacks in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Roberts had gone without a sack through Miami's first six games of the season, though solid tackling numbers had kept him on the IDP radar. Sunday's performance puts Roberts in solid position to overcome his previous career-best sack total, which he set with two back in 2017 with the Patriots.

  • Not on estimated injury report

    Roberts (quadriceps) was not listed on the Dolphins' estimated injury report Monday.

    Analysis: Roberts was forced to exit with a quadriceps injury during Sunday's 21-19 win over Buffalo. Though Miami did not hold a full practice Monday, the 28-year-old linebacker appears to have moved past this issue. Roberts recorded 17 tackles from Weeks 1 through 3, and he should put up productive numbers when healthy moving forward.

  • Left with injury

    Roberts suffered a quadriceps injury in the Dolphins 21-19 win over the Bills on Sunday.

    Roberts agreed to a one-year, $3.25 million contract with the Dolphins on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Over the last two seasons in Miami, Roberts has totaled 144 tackles (74 solo), four pass deflections, two forced fumbles and one interception across 30 appearances. The linebacker figures to garner a similar role during the 2022 campaign.

  • Season-high stops

    Roberts had seven tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 30-28 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: Roberts racked up production as a run stopper versus Atlanta, but he still sits at just 31 tackles (19 solo) through seven games. Though he does also offer modest upside in coverage, Roberts lacks the sort of ceiling that fantasy managers covet in IDP formats. He can best be considered a fill-in fantasy option.

  • First career interception

    Roberts recorded three tackles and one interception in Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Roberts recorded his first-career interception midway through the first quarter and then returned the pick for an 85-yard touchdown. The rest of his performance wasn't as positive, as he committed an unnecessary roughness penalty that got Las Vegas away from its own goal line on a drive that ultimately ended in a touchdown late in the second quarter. Roberts has been a part-time player on defense for the Dolphins, and he has 10 total tackles in three games this season.

  • Activated from PUP list

    The Dolphins activated Roberts (knee) from the PUP list Thursday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Roberts spent a significant portion of training camp on the PUP list, but he's now managed to pass his physical and can return to practice. If the Dolphins opt to ease Roberts back into action, though, he could still end up missing Saturday's preseason contest against Atlanta.

  • Starting camp on PUP list

    The Dolphins placed Roberts (knee) on the PUP list Wednesday, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Roberts still hasn't progressed enough in his recovery from offseason surgery to resume practicing. The rotational linebacker should still be in line to make Miami's roster if he can return to full health soon, but his spot could be in jeopardy if it becomes unclear that he'll be ready for Week 1.

    Roberts (knee) wasn't an active participant during mandatory minicamp, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Roberts is still on the mend after undergoing offseason surgery, and he remains without a concrete timetable for a return. As Jackson points out, Roberts is expected to make the roster, but the Dolphins could turn elsewhere if he isn't at full strength by August.

He appears to have undergone offseason surgery to address the injury that caused him to be carted off the field during Miami's regular-season finale in 2020. When healthy, Roberts will play a rotational role in the Dolphins' linebacker corps.

  • Staying in Miami

    The Dolphins re-signed Roberts (knee) on Wednesday.

    Analysis: After being carted off the field with a knee injury in Week 16, Roberts was forced to miss the Dolphins' final contest of 2020. Prior to his injury, Roberts recorded 61 tackles (29 solo), 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble in 13 games. Assuming no lingering issues with his knee, the 26-year-old will likely continue his prominent role in Miami's linebacker corps.

  • Placed on IR

    The Dolphins placed Roberts (knee) on injured reserve Thursday.

    Analysis: Roberts isn't expected to return this season, even in the event that the Dolphins secure a playoff berth and go on a run. Kamu Grugier-Hill will be a candidate to see a sharp uptick in defensive snaps with Roberts out.

  • All clear Sunday

    Roberts (chest) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Roberts missed last week's game against the Chiefs with the chest issue, but after practicing in a limited capacity this week, he gained the medical clearance needed to play. The Dolphins' linebacking corps will be at full strength for the contest, as Roberts, Jerome Baker (back) and Kyle Van Noy (hip) are all active.

  • Status uncertain for Sunday

    Roberts (chest) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Patriots, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Roberts missed last week's loss to the Chiefs. He made progress by staying on the practice field all week, albeit in a limited capacity. Meanwhile, fellow starting linebacker Jerome Baker (knee) is also questionable. Calvin Munson and Kamu Grugier-Hill are the likely replacements if neither Roberts nor Baker can play Sunday.

  • Inactive for Week 14

    Roberts won't play in Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to a chest injury.

    Analysis: Roberts suffered the chest injury in the first quarter of last week's win over the Bengals, and the injury will force him to miss more time. The Miami linebacking corps is a bit thin Sunday, as Kyle Van Noy (hip) joined Roberts on the inactives list. In Roberts' stead, look for an increased role given to Calvin Munson and Kamu Grugier-Hill at inside linebacker for Sunday's game.

  • Questionable for Week 14

    Roberts (chest) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Roberts left in the first quarter of last week's win over the Bengals due to this injury, and it's still unclear if he'll be able to play through it a week later. Calvin Munson would see more snaps at inside linebacker if Roberts is ultimately ruled out.

  • Leaves game Sunday

    Roberts is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals due to a chest injury, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but Roberts was forced to leave the game in the first quarter. The Houston product has been an important part of the interior of the defense this season, racking up 50 tackles (25 solo) and 1.5 sacks through 10 games. As long as Roberts is sidelined, look for Calvin Munson and Kamu Grugier-Hill to see an uptick in snaps.

    Roberts notched nine tackles (six solo) and one forced fumble during Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Roberts only played 51 percent of defensive snaps, even with Shaq Lawson (hip) being forced out Sunday, but he managed to rack up serviceable IDP numbers even with limited playing time. He also had seven total tackles Week 3, and the Dolphins are set to face a run-heavy opponent at San Francisco in Week 5.

  • Good to go for Thursday's game

    Roberts (concussion) practiced in full for a third straight day Wednesday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Thursday's game against the Jaguars, Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Roberts should be firing on all cylinders in Week 3 after practicing without limitations throughout the week. He seems to be fully over the concussion he suffered in the season opener, which kept him out of last week's loss to the Bills.

  • Out Week 2

    Roberts (concussion) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Roberts played 40 defensive snaps and had four tackles before suffering the concussion in the season opener. The Dolphins have a short turnaround for Week 3 as they play the Jaguars on Thursday, so the 26-year-old won't have much additional time to clear the concussion protocol. Kamu Grugier-Hill is likely to have an increased role alongside Jerome Baker in his absence Week 2.

  • Scores in loss

    Roberts had a 38-yard touchdown reception and a tackle during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Roberts tied up the score late in the third quarter, slipping out from his fullback spot and into the flat for a 38-yard catch-and-run. It was both his first career reception and touchdown. His value as a FB/LB is low heading into the Wild Card round against Tennessee, but don't be surprised if a Patriots team struggling to find rhythm on offense resorts to some further trickery.
