Bostic had just one tackle during Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Entering the game Bostic led the Steelers in tackles but managed to record only one all game and not until the Chargers final drive. With 67 tackles on the season he still owns a share of the team lead with Vince Williams, but Pittsburgh will need Bostic to bounce back after dropping their second straight game. Week 14 has them heading to Oakland, where Pittsburgh hasn't won since 1995.

Bostic totaled six tackles (two solo) during their 20-16 win against Jacksonville.
EDGE Analysis
Bostic leads the defense with 62 tackles through 10 games this season and will look to add to that total in Week 11 against the Broncos. In their last meeting, the Steelers lost a 2015 playoff game 23-16, although both teams looked quite different than those that will take the field this time.

Bostic recorded five tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 23-16 win over Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Bostic leads the defense with 46 tackles this season and the Steelers are on a four-game winning streak, but the defense has managed just two takeaways during that stretch. It won't be any easier on a short week, facing a Panthers team that has turned the ball over just eight times all season.

Bostic recorded six tackles (all solo) including a sack in Monday's 30-27 win over the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
In just his third game as a Steeler, Bostic has already matched his career high with two sacks and leads the team with 21 tackles. The defense has 11 sacks through three games, second only to Chicago, and is on pace for 58 on the year. They'll look to add to that total against Baltimore in Week 4.

Bostic (knee) said he is healthy and doesn't believe his previous medical issues are chronic, Jacob Klinger of PennLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bostic has missed 26 games since entering the NFL as a second-round pick in 2013, limited by a mixture of hip, ankle and knee injuries. He spent the final two weeks of last season on injured reserve with a knee sprain, but he believes he could've played in Week 17 if the Colts had allowed it. Bostic finished the year with a career-high 97 tackles in 14 games, though his stat line otherwise consisted of just one sack, one fumble recovery and three pass breakups. He's had a hand in only three turnovers and three sacks throughout his career, displaying little in the way of playmaking ability. He figures to compete with Tyler Matakevich (shoulder) for a starting inside linebacker job next to Vince Williams, as the Steelers already have ruled Ryan Shazier (neck) out for the season. The team hopes to have both Bostic and Matakevich healthy for the start of the offseason program in mid-April.

Bostic (knee) is signing a two-year contract with the Steelers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Ryan Shazier (spine) already ruled out for the upcoming season, Pittsburgh has a glaring need at inside linebacker alongside incumbent 16-game starter Vince Williams. A 2013 second-round pick, Bostic has never quite lived up to his draft status, but he did pile up 97 tackles in four games while handling a three-down role for the Colts last season. He may need to compete with Tyler Matakevich (shoulder) -- and possibly another free agent or draft pick -- for the starting job. The oft-injured Bostic finished last season on IR due to a knee injury of unknown severity.

EDGE Analysis
Bostic suffered the injury in last Thursday's loss to the Broncos and while the specifics remain relatively unknown, his 2017 season has come to an end. Anthony Walker and Jermaine Grace are set for increased workloads at inside linebacker over the final two weeks of the season.

Bostic injured his knee in Thursday's game against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Bostic's exact status is still unknown, but he is being evaluated and should have a more detailed diagnosis in the coming days. As long as he is out, Anthony Walker and Jermaine Grace are in line for extended snaps at linebacker.
