Rest easy, Steeler Nation. Landry Jones is here.

With news that starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger could be out four-to-six weeks after suffering a torn lateral meniscus in his left knee, it would be easy to speculate about the Steelers' chances without their top pivot.

Jones, the team's backup quarterback, had a simple message for his teammates, however.

"Don't panic."

Jones, now in his fourth season, has started just two games in his career and played in portions of seven. He has 513 career passing yards, three touchdowns, and four interceptions.

He'll also see the New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens, and Dallas Cowboys in the Steelers' next three games.
