Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin believes that offensive lineman Mike Adams has bounced back well from being dropped and put into a new position.

Adams was removed from his side's offensive line after struggling to protect quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and has now been placed at tight end on running plays.

"He's doing a really nice job with what we're asking him to do as a tight end, and it's provided some good gas for us in that regard," Tomlin told reporters.

"I don't want to equate that to tackle play. Obviously, it's a different set of issues."

The Steelers face the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
