On Thursday prior to practice, DL Cam Heyward spoke to the media and gave his thoughts on the upcoming matchup with the New York Jets this coming Sunday. While Heyward recognizes that New York has some key injuries on offense, Pittsburgh’s defense can’t afford to overlook a team that has proven to give teams fits in recent weeks.
“They got two really good backs: Michael Carter and Breece Hall,” Heyward said about the Jets running game on Thursday via video from Chris Adamski’s Twitter page. “I don’t know if it changes your game plan. They got some injuries upfront at the offensive tackle position, but to be young in this league, I don’t think you’re just going to sit back and let something happen.
