The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to right the ship today after dropping a game that most felt they should win, being bested by the visiting Las Vegas Raiders and spoiling their home opener. They host the AFC North’s Cincinnati Bengals today, but they do so shorthanded, and that will be a theme in this column.
First and foremost, who dresses at outside linebacker? Alex Highsmith has already been ruled out, but T.J. Watt was regarded as questionable after practicing on a limited basis all week. They don’t want to risk making his groin injury worse and turning it into something that lingers for a long stretch of the season.
