PARIS \u2014 Asked about a tackle for loss he had Sunday, Kevin Jobity Jr. wasn\u2019t going to take credit for something he did not deserve.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t remember having a TFL,\u201d the Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman said. \u201cI might have just been in on a tackle one of my boys had.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sure enough, in the hours after the game \u2014 a 16-10 Steelers win against the New Orleans Saints \u2014 the NFL\u2019s official statkeepers removed Jobity\u2019s tackle from the record.<\/p>\n
No matter, Jobity had a ball. After all, it was his NFL debut.<\/p>\n
\u201dIt was awesome, man,\u201d Jobity said from Stade de France after the game. \u201cI\u2019ve been waiting for this moment for a long time. So just a huge blessing. I\u2019m thankful I had my brothers out there supporting me the whole way. So it was great.\u201d<\/p>\n
Per Pro Football Focus, Jobity played five snaps on defense and 10 on special teams. He was in uniform because of injuries to veteran defensive linemen Derrick Harmon (foot) and Sebastian Joseph-Day (triceps).<\/p>\n
Jobity, an undrafted rookie from Syracuse, was inactive for the first six games.<\/p>\n
Steelers inactives<\/p>\n
The Steelers had already announced via the league-mandated injury report on Friday that receiver Ben Skowronek (calf) and cornerback Brandin Echols (hamstring) would not play against the Saints. As a result of the injuries at receiver, the Steelers on Saturday announced the elevation of receivers Brandon Johnson and Brandon Smith from the practice squad to be in uniform in Paris.<\/p>\n
The Steelers\u2019 healthy scratches against the Saints were quarterback Drew Allar, cornerback Terrel Smith and running back Eli Heidenreich. Will Howard served in his typical role as the \u201cemergency\u201d No. 3 quarterback.<\/p>\n
Saints inactives<\/p>\n
Inactive for the Saints were quarterback Zach Wilson, safety Mike Reid, guard Cesar Ruiz, tight end Treyton Welch, defensive linemen Nathan Shepherd and John Ridgeway III and edge rusher Tyree Wilson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PARIS \u2014 Asked about a tackle for loss he had Sunday, Kevin Jobity Jr. wasn\u2019t going to take…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":314324,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[73,75,74],"class_list":["post-314323","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314323","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=314323"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314323\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/314324"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=314323"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=314323"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=314323"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
