Last year, the Pittsburgh Steelers had to make the emergency move of shifting Patrick Peterson from corner to safety. This year, they’re getting ahead of that potential problem. Starting Wednesday and continuing throughout the week, Cam Sutton has been a safety instead of a cornerback. Once he’s back from suspension, and should the Steelers get rocked with injuries like they did in 2023, Sutton would be the man on the move.
Pittsburgh entered training camp with a relatively thin safety group. For a 91-man roster, they came to Saint Vincent College with just six of them, the bare minimum a team really should have entering the summer.
